Hamlet takes to stage in migrant camp

The words from Shakespeare's Hamlet have rung out on the most unlikely stage - a squalid migrant camp in the northern French port of Calais.

The audience of migrants from the Middle East and Africa would almost certainly have preferred to see London's renowned Globe Theatre Company perform the Bard's play in his native country on the other side of the English Channel.

Yet, up to 300 people bundled against the cold wind on Wednesday to watch the outdoor show on a wooden stage beside the small Good Chance theater, which was set up in the autumn to help entertain the camp's residents.
