The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep presents the climactic Shakespearean tragedy, Hamlet, as its next student production! The ghost of the King of Denmark tells his son Hamlet to avenge his murder by killing the new king, Hamlet’s uncle. Hamlet feigns madness, contemplates life and death, and seeks revenge. His uncle, fearing for his life, also devises plots to kill Hamlet. The play ends with a duel, during which the King, Queen, Hamlet’s opponent and Hamlet himself are all killed. Director Benjamin Cole is proud to share the talents of his student cast. “Especially with our outdoor summer Shakespeare production we get some exceptional teen performers,” Cole beams. “Knowing we were going to have the exciting challenge of three different outdoor venues in three different cities I wanted to offer a show that would really highlight some of the best of what we can do,” he declares. Leading actor playing the role of Hamlet, Kai Bunyak, adds, “The character of Hamlet is such a universal challenge and privilege to portray. He has been played by countless individuals, across cultures, experience levels, and backgrounds, and as a genderqueer teen I am honored to step into that legacy. In our production, I hope you can see what a group of fired up young performers can bring to this centuries-old tale.” The show runs a breathtaking 90 minutes with no intermission and hopes to rouse audience’s appreciation and understanding of live Shakespeare performance. Additional production staff includes Assistant Director, Steve Smith and Stage Manager, Paul Smith.
