Hamlet

By William Shakespeare

Directed by Melissa Nicholson

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”

 Hamlet is one of the most powerful and influential tragedies in the English language. Gamut Theatre’s interpretation deals with the most compelling of the play’s themes: philosophy, revenge, mortality, madness and suicide. This age-old play is sure to intrigue and challenge audiences of any age, leaving them with the question, “To be, or not to be?”

 Recommended for ages 12 and up, the production is extremely accessible, employing Gamut’s unique educational engagement style of combining Shakespeare’s original text with modern narrations to bridge the most famous scenes from the play together into an easy-to-understand story. This dynamic show is performed by six highly–talented actors, runs 90 minutes, and each performance is followed by a talk-back discussion with the audience.
