Hamlet

Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Eric Ruiter

Corruption and espionage prevail at Castle Elsinore, where beloved Prince Hamlet has been burdened with the unenviable task of avenging his father’s “foul and unnatural murder.” Featuring a contemporary sensibility and distilled relevancy, Shakespeare’s timeless meditation on mortality and morality is as mesmerizing in 2013 as it was over 400 years ago.
