Hamlet keeps performers on their toes, literally

The most famous soliloquy of all times, "to be or not to be", will be "spoken" without uttering a word, through dance movements.

Shakespeare's play Hamlet will be presented as a full-length ballet, and the new production will premiere at Shanghai Grand Theater on April 15 and 16.

Choreographer Derek Deane says the story of Hamlet is "so universal that it can be told anywhere, in any language, any art form".
