TRISTAN SCHAFFER-GOLDMAN

Today we opened Hamlet in repertory at LAMDA, directed by none other than world-renowned director Michael Attenborough! As our final show of the MA in Classical Acting, this has been our opportunity to apply everything we have learned in our studies this past year. And apply we have, and with great aplomb! It has been an absolute pleasure and honor to delve into the role of Hamlet, and though this might seem obvious to anyone with an appreciation for Shakespeare or this play,

I've never had more fun with a character than I did with Lord Foppington in our performance of The Relapse by John Vanbrugh at LAMDA. While it was merely a workshop performance as part of our MA in Classical Acting, and therefore significantly cut down, I still got the opportunity to tap into an extremely unique, challenging, and utterly enjoyable role. There's nothing quite like being given permission to be as big as you want, because once you fop, the fun don't stop...

I got certified in RP (Received Pronunciation aka BBC English) at LAMDA!
