The play gives us so many sides of this one person. This production will explore this idea: the fractures in Hamlet’s psyche and in the world of the play. By casting in a non-traditional way, this production will explore Hamlet’s fractured family, society, and internal life. Directed by Prof. Danielle Bedau.
