Denmark v. Hamlet: A Shakespeare Mock Trial and Talkback

Denmark v. Hamlet: A Shakespeare Mock Trial and Talkback
Sunday, October 6, 2024 from 3 PM to 4:30 PM
Mission Valley Branch Library
All Ages
Free

Our premise is that after King Claudius orders Hamlet sent to England for his killing of Polonius, a great storm at sea arises that prevents Hamlet and his escorts Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern from taking ship. In the meantime, Laertes returns from France, learns of his father’s death, and raises a rebellion against Claudius. Always the consummate politician, Claudius orders Hamlet seized and put on trial, hoping to assuage Laertes.

The audience will serve as the jury and deliver its verdict by voice vote at the conclusion of the trial. We will also hold a talkback session with the cast and audience.
