Twelve Ophelias (a play with broken songs) at Ophelia's Jump

By Caridad Svich, Directed by Elina de Santos

Shakespeare’s Ophelia rises up out of the water dreaming of Pop-Tarts and
other sweet things. She finds herself in a neo-Elizabethan Appalachian setting
where Gertrude runs a brothel, Hamlet is called a Rude Boy, and nothing is what
it seems. In this mirrored world of word-scraps and cold sex, Ophelia cuts a new path for herself.

“A whimsical riff on Hamlet which imagines an afterlife for Elsinore’s unluckiest
lass. A twisted take on the tragedy.” -Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
