Hamlet II - Better than the Original
Thursday March 31st, 2011 - Saturday April 16th, 2011
Information:
A Comedy by Sam Bobrick, Original Story by W. Shakespeare
Directed by Jeremy Mackenzie
March 31 – 16 April 2011 At the Pumphouse Theatre
12 performances, one 2 pm matinee on the 10th, no Monday and Tuesday shows

Hamlet II is a mad, zany parody of the original with a much happier ending. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are moonlighting as designers, Ophelia is a loose woman and alas, poor Yorick is turned into a crazy comic. Then there's Gertrude, Claudius, Laertes and the old dead King as you've never seen them before. And what does Prince Hamlet think of this new approach to his life? He loves it and why not? To catch the conscience of the king, he gets to write a hit musical. Also included are the loves, hates, sword fights, poetry, religion, treachery and deceit that go with the territory as well as occasional stabs at the meaning of life.
