This article briefly explores the 200-year performance history of Hamlet at Elsinore Castle and discusses the portrayal of Gertrude in nine English-speaking productions of Hamlet at Elsinore. It highlights the neglect, marginalization, objectification, and sexualization of Gertrude, particularly in productions with a star actor in the title role.
This article gives a brief account of the two-hundred-year-old performance history of Hamlet at Elsinore Castle; this is followed by a discussion of Gertrude as portrayed in nine English or English-speaking Hamlets at Elsinore, beginning with Olivier and the Old Vic in 1937 and concluding with Cape Town Theatre Company eighty-five years later, in 2022. The article discusses different aspects of how Gertrude (as seen through the prism of these particular Hamlet productions) has been portrayed on stage, drawing attention to the fact that, particularly in productions with a star actor in the title role, Gertrude has often been neglected, ignored or marginalised by the director, or else objectified and sexualised for the benefit of the audience: aged down, dumbed down or otherwise commodified.
