In a new devised piece, the cast of HamletGhosts rips apart Hamlet and reconstructs it for a modern audience. Through a series of vignettes mixing Shakespeare with Lady Gaga, clowns, internet help sites, and personal narratives, witness the emotional guts of Hamlet without any of the messy plot. Whether you know exactly what happened to Rosencrantz or don’t even know this Hamlet guy, dive head first into this rowdy show. Experience Director Cody Holliday Haefner’s radical vision in a piece that forces the audience to question their own complicity in the acts of madness and violence played out in front of them. It's a sexy meditation on death with a clown!
