Castle Tour - 2008 - Hamlet

The green leaves from May decorate the trees and a wondorous array of flowers adorn balconies, lawns and countrysides. Birds go about busily feeding their young contributing greatly with their chirpings to the songs of nature. The shift is almost complete as most leisure time oriented events take place outside, in biergardens, forests and in Castle Courtyards. The sky is the limit, the stars are the twinkling dreams which welcome ADGE to another sommer tour through Europe's Castles. HAMLET takes center stage in CASTLE TOUR 2008, replete with murders, conspiracies, sword fights and ghosts. The Prince of Denmark can be seen in Norway, Sweden, Germany, Holland, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria and England as well as in Copenhagen. He embodies the revenge and hope within a young soul and carries with him the burden of continuing ADGE?s dream of oneday performing in all of Europe's best settings. The dream born in 1995 lives on to this day, altered a little by the realities of life, tapered perhaps by power structures and events having little to do with limitless, free-flowing theatre, but never the less living, determined to go forward.

This is by far ADGE's most ambitous undertaking in its 31 year history. This HAMLET tour encompases three continents, 23 countries and about 200 performances from March to December 2008. Once again theatre attempts to prove that it can raise its elegent head above the limitations of cultural barriers, time zones, and travel logistics. Once again it tries to hold its own against such competition as European soccer championships and The summer olympics. Once again it wishes to prove its relevance to modern, internet scarred audiences. And once again we welcome you to join us in this never ending journey into the unknown.
