Busey-Hamlet Parody Hit Returns to The People's Improv Theater with New Title

Following this summer's critically acclaimed run at Chicago Shakespeare Theater, and in the footsteps of Gary Busey's recent Off-Broadway Perfect Crime debut, the formerly titled Gary Busey's One-Man Hamlet returns to The PIT Loft for two performances on January 9 & 10 as the newly minted David Carl's Celebrity One-Man Hamlet.

The New York Times called the show "Deliciously deranged...a head-spinning performance!" The Chicago Tribune said, "Bold and often hilarious...thoroughly enjoyable...spot-on impression."

As Shakespearean actor, puppeteer, singer and action-movie hero, New York actor-writer David Carl impersonates Gary Busey performing each scene of Hamlet with occasional detours across Mr. Busey's IMDB page from The Buddy Holly Story to Lethal Weapon. The heady mix of high and low-brow comedy celebrates Shakespeare's classic by using it to reflect upon the jaded, celebrity-crazed, meme-obsessed world around us.
