Klassen am Dienstag, dem 20. 1. 2026, im Kloster Und konfrontiert. Was sie dort erlebten, war weit mehr als klassisches Theater: In einer packenden, modernen Adaption von Shakespeares Meisterwerk <strong>\u201eHamlet\u201c<\/strong> begaben sie sich auf eine emotionale Achterbahnfahrt durch die Abgr\u00fcnde der menschlichen Seele. Die Darsteller spr\u00fchten vor Energie und brachten eine derart geladene Atmosph\u00e4re auf die B\u00fchne, dass man die Spannung f\u00f6rmlich greifen konnte. Ein fesselndes Erlebnis, das das Publikum vom ersten Moment an in den Bann des d\u00e4nischen Prinzen zog!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two students (Anna Nuhr and Zainab Mohammadi from 7G2) wrote the following:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The original three-hour play \u201cHamlet\u201d by Shakespeare was adapted by Clive Duncan to last only about one hour. Despite the shorter running-time, this version managed to capture the essence of the original tragedy, centred on revenge, doubt, and madness, in a gripping way without losing any of its depth.<br \/>\nRemarkably, the entire play was performed by a cast of only four actors, whose dynamic energy and quick role changes brought the story to life. Even though only a few props and nearly no costumes were used, it was easy to follow and a great experience for our students in the 7th and 8th grade. Overall, this English-language performance was a fantastic opportunity to get to know world literature firsthand.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3761 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.piaristengymnasium.at\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Hamlet_a-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.piaristengymnasium.at\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Hamlet_a-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.piaristengymnasium.at\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Hamlet_a-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.piaristengymnasium.at\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Hamlet_a-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.piaristengymnasium.at\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Hamlet_a-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.piaristengymnasium.at\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Hamlet_a-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beitrag von Mag.
