Jo Harris performs Bingham "Enter Ghost"

Notes from the music for context:

 The Ayre bites shrewdly… (offstage)

The King doth wake tonight and takes his rouse Look my Lord, it comes... (like a shift in the air)… it beckons you

The Ghost speaks

The Ghost vanishes

Hamlet rails against fate

Oh cursed spite! That ever I was born to set it right.

 

Filmed on location at Tilbury Fort, Essex and St. James's Spanish Place, London
