Book Reviews of Fortinbras
Book Review: Clever, Funny and Easy Going.
Summary: 3 Stars
While in a production of Hamlet, playing among others, Fortinbras, I recalled hearing of this play. As well cast mates and I debated about a play ala Rosencranz and Guildenstern Are Dead, that comes from Hamlet, and takes on questions about those remaining alive. Well, here is Fortinbras.
Opening as Hamlet ends, Fortinbras arrives into a kingdom-for-free and takes on what Hamlet showed to be a rotten state in Denmark. Very much humor ensues, as Horatio and Osric, the only survivors who witnessed the end of the royal family, attempt to adaprt to this new careless ruler.
This is a great read. Quick, funny, clever and easy going. If someone wanted to be very bold, a production of this tied into Hamlet would be an amazing ride.
