Silent Version of Hamlet Plays in Washington, DC

Paata Tsikurishvili, an actor originally from the former Soviet Republic of Georgia, is directing a silent version of Hamlet at the Stanislavsky Theatre Studio in Washington, DC. He suggests that the audience should read the play before coming to see the production. He stresses that the actors are not mimes, like Marcel Marceau. Rather, they are attempting to "go straight to the core of Shakespeare's language and capture the images within the words."
