Murder, deceit, ghosts, swashbuckling swordplay and some of the finest and most beautiful language ever written, this production of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet transposes the action to a 19th century world of utopian ideals and harsh authoritarian realities, as a son comes to grips with the death of his father and his own fragile existence. Hamlet’s journey mirrors the hopes and fears, the feelings of frustration and despair, of all mankind. Andrew S. Paul directs.
