'Nathan is a brilliant actor, a star in the making, a perfect Hamlet! So why is he standing at the back of the stage holding a spear while the cast of Hamlet perform the Bard's greatest play - without a proper part for him? And who cast TV's Ayden 'Mr Silver Logie' Compston as the gloomy Dane? And why doesn't the lovely Ophelia, played by dangerously curvy Veronica, ever notice him? How can he make his mark in acting if no one can see his talent? Should he lock up all the other actors and play all the roles himself...? Surely not...?' (Source: Ensemble Theatre website)
