Hamlet at Center Theatre Group at the Mark Taper Forum

“So...once more... tell me about this Ghost.” That’s how the legendary story begins. But ghosts are tricky things. Especially in a world of madness, murder, and mayhem. A rich entitled Prince goes on a ferocious rampage that will lead to a massacre in the living room. Is he a tragic hero as we’ve often been told? Or a royal blooded serial killer? In this new adaptation we will step into a Shakespearian noir through a forensic investigation of the ultimate crimes of passion. It’s been half a century since Hamlet was produced at the Taper and next season Tony Award® nominated visionary, Robert O’Hara, who directed the landmark box office hit Slave Play, returns to stage one of the most famous tales ever told.
