About This Production
“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” While mourning his father’s sudden death, Prince Hamlet returns home to discover his mother hastily remarried and his despised uncle assuming the throne. When an apparition of the late king accuses the uncle of murder, Hamlet, pushed to the brink of madness, is driven to avenge a crime that could be the product of his own imagining. Torn between thought and action, the manic prince is left questioning what is real and what he alone has dreamed up. The cornerstone of Shakespeare’s genius, Hamlet walks the line between spiraling insanity and the truth.
Orlando Shakes’ production of Hamlet is part of Shakespeare in American Communities, a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
