This 80-minute, deconstructed, memory-play version of Shakespeare's classic drama is designed to be fast-paced, intimate and accessible.
Experience the greatest play ever written like you've never seen it before! Something is VERY rotten in the State of Denmark in Exit Left's ingenious reimagining of William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Things aren't great in the Prince of Denmark's world. His dead Dad won't stop talking to him, his mom has married his uncle, and he just can't seem to figure out his purpose in life. It doesn't matter if you're a Shakespeare lover, hater, newbie, or veteran...you will love this ninety-minute version of Hamlet that has been hailed as, "fast-paced, hauntingly-beautiful, and incredibly accessible." Exit Left brings the greatest of all classics to Columbus in an immersive, chilling experience that places you right in the Royal Court of Denmark where you'll witness Prince Hamlet's descent into madness as he exacts his revenge on all those who have wronged him...and then some.
Hamlet is directed by Exit Left company member Patrick McGregor. The small, 9-member cast includes Jordan Estose in the title role with Megan Lear as Horatio and Ophelia.
