Hamlet

The Cameri Theatre's (www.cameri.co.il) award-winning production of Hamlet was performed in the International "Shakespeare in Washington" festival March 6-11, 2007 at the Signature Theatre in Arlington, VA.  Performed in Hebrew with simultaneous "translation" into the original English, the play has received enthusiastic response from critics and audiences alike throughout the world.

The Cameri production has represented Israel at the International Shakespeare Festival in Gdansk Poland (2005) and at the International Shakespeare Festival in Bucharest, Romania (2006) and has won five awards at Israel's 2006 Theater Prize Awards, including Best Play, Best Direct and Best Actor.

Since its premier, the Cameri’s “Hamlet” has been performed more than 450 times in Israel and abroad to enthusiastic full houses.  Director Omri Nitzan's choice to have the spectators sit in revolving seats makes them participants in the play with constant involvement.  "A brilliant production with innovative direction and a must see" (Rivka Jacobson, London Theatre Guide).  FIA is a proud sponsor of the Cameri's participation in this festival.
