Anyway, what has this to do with Hamlet? Well if you remember back to our December 2009 
blog we visited Kronborg Castle which was the setting for Elsinore in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Well today Sarah's high school drama class conducted a Hamlet Parody at the Festival City Mall in Dubai, with Sarah in the leading role (see photos). In case the shoppers were not learned in the way of the Bard, each of the actors had their role subtly printed on their costumes.

As is the way of Hamlet, much carnage ensued. Sarah was able to reach into her experiences at Kronborg Castle (despite the vast temperature difference) and with the faintest Danish lilt dispose of many a fellow actor until it was her time to collapse to the boards.The troupe was able to stay faithfull to this epic tale (despite the abridged version) and still find time to weave in some well placed (and classy) comedic lines that will no doubt become th enew standard across the thespian world. No critic could do this performance justice, and the strong applause from the shoppers and parents alike was testament to a rollicking good afternoon.

Happy Birthday Alexander. I bet that telescope will be a treasured gift for many years. We love using John's telescope the the beach where there are fewer lights at night - but we have to secure it as it jumps up and down every time someone walks along the deck! Otherwise we think we're seeing lots of shooting stars!! Hope you've had a very happy day. Love Steph
Sounded like a great time was had by all - wish I could have seen it - congrats Sarah.
