Hamlet is Shakespeare’s most famous play and arguably the most famous play in the English language. Who is the “real” Hamlet? Centuries of Shakespeare followers have asked this question. 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.
