‘TO BE OR NOT TO BE,’ Ahad Raza Mir has won hearts as he performs ‘Hamlet’ in Canada!
Ahad Raza Mir, post-play, shared his experience and said he was nervous about the large crowds but finds solace in the character he plays.
He hopes his appearance on stage will inspire South Asian viewers to pursue their artistic dreams, despite the risks involved.
Three successive shows were held at the iconic theater at the Rose Brampton in Ontario winning the attention of hundreds of audiences.
Shakespeare’s play opens, with Hamlet (Ahad Raza Mir) mourning his father, who was killed, and lamenting the behavior of his mother, Gertrude, who married his uncle Claudius within a month of his father’s death.
The ghost of his father appears to Hamlet and informs him that Claudius poisoned him.
And fans can’t stop gushing themselves from falling in love with Ahad.
Ahhh, got tears in my eyes; he always deserved to be where he's standing right now.👏 Saying it for the millionth time that I'm so proud of you.🥹🫶
