The latest in Michael Green's hilarious Coarse Acting series, Umlaut, Prince of Dusseldorf imagines a hapless and incompetent theatre company attempting a condensed version of Hamlet. Cue bungled lines, an over-eager smoke machine operator and a severely injured Cup-Bearer. The ghost is determined to ruin all of Umlaut's best speeches while Hildegard, the Coarse Acting version of Ophelia, keeps forgetting that she's supposed to be dead. Cast and crew battle on regardless - surely the audience won't have noticed a thing?
