Part murder mystery, ghost story, and growing up tale, William Shakespeare's Hamlet has thrilled audience members for hundreds of years. Set in contemporary Denmark, this immersive, physical performance will give audience members a new appreciation for Shakespeare's classic work.
Shortly after his mother's speedy remarriage, Prince Hamlet of Denmark has a disturbing conversation with a spirit claiming to be the ghost of his father. The ghost states that he was murdered by his brother, Claudius, who then swiftly married Hamlet's mother and took the throne. Prince Hamlet sets off on a quest to find the truth and restore justice. But will young Hamlet be able to avoid being murdered by his father's betrayers, or becoming eternally marred by choosing vengeance over justice?
It is a 2-hour estimated run time, including a 15 minute intermission.
