Re-Member Me with Dickie Beau – Melbourne International Arts Festival

Arts, Comedy, Entertainment, Performing Arts

Dickie Beau has come to Melbourne and has brought his reworking of Shakespeare’s Hamlet to Arts Centre Melbourne for the Melbourne International Arts Festival.

Dickie Beau joined Dean on MAD Wednesday to find out all about this fantastic production, as the award-winning lip-sync fabulist transforms into a human mix-tape, channelling recordings of the great historical performances of theatre’s most famous role, Hamlet.

Seance meets documentary in this wry voyage “re-membering” the ghosts of Hamlet past and stumbling upon the remarkable story behind the greatest Hamlet almost never seen—because no recording exists, except in the memories of those who were there.

Featuring the voices of Sir John Gielgud and John Barrymore to Kenneth Branagh and Peter O’Toole, Re-Member Me is a humorous and haunting examination of memory and mortality.

Catch Re-Member Me at Arts Centre Melbourne from 17th -21st October.
