Hamlet's Angel

Bee Williamson

Spiritual emergency or spiritual emergence? Bee started writing her play Hamlet’s Angel to dramatise the untold story of Ophelia, and explore the lives of Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath, and delve into her own grandmother’s mental illness. Very soon, out of the blue, it became her own story of madness, when she was diagnosed in 2000.

Hamlet’s Angel - a mix of music, images and an exploration of awakening kundalini – was completed with help from dramaturg Martin R White, funded by the COPP, Cultural Development Fund (2007). Mentored by Nilgun Guven, Bee took the play to the NYWF.
