The Camac electroharp\u2019s portability and limitless, amplified possibilities make it a perfect stage harp – and it\u2019s currently part of some fantastic pieces of theatre.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Llinos<\/a>

Llinos Daniel, Sir Ian McKellen<\/p><\/div>\n

In the hands of Llinos Daniel, a baby blue has been sharing the stage with none other than Sir Ian McKellen<\/a> in Sean Mathias\u2019s new production of Hamlet. The age- and gender-blind production has been a British theatrical sensation, set in a bleak industrial Elsinore, with the 82-year-old McKellen as the 30-year-old Prince.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Llinos, actor and musician, already had a Camac Baby Blue and contacted us about customising a harness so the harp could join the Players in Act II. This play-within-a-play is a key scene, tying into Hamlet\u2019s preoccupations with performance and show, and questions of madness as reality is revealed as fragile and slippery. Adam Cork\u2019s score makes the most of the electroharp\u2019s possibilities, with sustain and effects throughout the dramatic soundscape.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s a pop of life and colour when we arrive\u201d, says Llinos, \u201calthough I\u2019m also one of the gravediggers, later on.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Richard Hanna<\/p><\/div>\n

On the other side of the Atlantic, Richard Hanna has created Melody Moore<\/a>, a one-man show about the Irish poet and singer, Thomas Moore (1779 – 1852). He\u2019s customised his dark green DHC 32 with decorations inspired by John Egan\u2019s harp in the Salvi Collection, and takes his audience on a journey – comic and serious by turns – into Moore\u2019s fascinating life and times. This portrayal includes the performance of 11 of Moore\u2019s most famous songs, also layered with contemporary effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
