Hamlet A Stand Up comes to NYC as a part of The United Solo Festival on October 21 at 9 p.m. at Theatre Row. In Hamlet A Stand Up, one man plays twenty roles.

He mimes, talks and sings his way through this comical tragedy and has done so more than 2000 times touring both in Sweden and abroad with great success. This play contains the whole story of Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Actor, mimeartist and director Roger Westberg premiered with his critically acclaimed and award-winning one man show Hamlet a stand up 1992.

It's spectacular, it's funny, yet still retaining the tragedy. Roger himself has described the first act as being 90% comedy and 10% tragedy, and the second act the other way around. It has travelled to Edinburg Fringe festival, Denmark , Finland, Norway, Iceland, Egypt, England, the Faroe Islands, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia
