Fledgling Theatre Company’s new dark comedy picks up where Hamlet left off
‘Appropriation’ written by Paul Gilchrist

Hamlet is dead. What next?

Appropriation tells the imagined story of Fortinbras, a rash hothead who learns from his politically gifted wife when to wield a sword and when to weave a story. Raw, poetic and darkly funny, Appropriation is a surgical assault on how we use stories to establish power and gain prestige.

“Like Stoppard, Gilchrist is great with words….obviously a playwright worth watching.”
