The opening scene is a textbook example of how to swiftly get a drama going. The old king wants to divide his kingdom among his three daughters and asks them how much they love him. The youngest daughter, whom he loves most, does not want to participate in this charade. The two older sisters flatter their father on command and get their share. The youngest is honest and gets nothing. She is also cursed and rejected. It is the prelude to an unprecedented power struggle, with all the injustice, betrayal, death and destruction that entails, leading to a heartbreaking conclusion. Het Toneel Speelt performs almost the complete version in the original cast of twelve actors, with Mark Rietman in the title role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Credits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>text:\u00a0William Shakespeare<br>translation:\u00a0Evert Straat<br>adaptation:\u00a0Ronald Klamer<br>direction:\u00a0Jaap Spijkers<br>actors: Mark Rietman, Daan Schuurmans, Bracha van Doesburgh, Tijn Docter, Jules Croiset, Fockeline Ouwerkerk, Fabian Jansen, Dries Smits, Lykele Muus, Tarikh Janssen, Simon Heijmans.<br>scenography &amp; light design:\u00a0Guus van Geffen<br>costume design:\u00a0Bernadette Corstens<br>soundscapes &amp; sound design: Jorg Schellekens<br>martial choreography:\u00a0Jeroen Lopes Cardozo<br>production:\u00a0Nancy Thomas, Nadia Benameur<br>make up &amp; hair:\u00a0Pilo Pilkes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Premi\u00e8re<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>23 August 2012, DeLaMar (Amsterdam, NL)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Het Toneel Speelt Soundscapes and sound design for a Shakespeare classic directed by Jaap Spijkers.
