"Happiness is Chris Scott's star turn as Shakespeare's Hamlet"
Review from Derby Evening Telegraph
Terry Smith's eerie production of Shakespeare's most famous tragedy was a true supernatural spectacular! Featuring menacing, cloaked figures who watched the events unfold and a ghostly projection of Hamlet's murdered father there was great spectacle to be had alongside excellent performances across the board.
Chris Scott made the role of the doomed Dane all his own at the centre of a fantastic cast and the production was recognised with several nominations at the Eagle Awards for amateur theatre in Derby, including Chris himself who won the Timothy Dalton Award for Best Performance in a Play.
