HAMLET IN BED, written by Michael Laurence and directed by Lisa Peterson, is currently in previews for a September 17, 2015 opening.

BroadwayWorld has a first look at the stars in action below!
Michael is a neurotic actor and adoptee obsessed with two things -- finding his real mother, and playing the famous gloomy Dane. His twin fixations collide when he tracks down Anna, a reclusive former actress-turned-barfly; gripped by the notion that she might be his actual birth-mother, he first stalks her from a distance, then lures her into a noirish production of Hamlet playing the role of his mother the queen. HAMLET IN BED is a twisty and darkly comic story about mothers and sons -- about what it means to live a life in the theatre, both a generation ago, and now -- and about families -- the ones we're born into, and the ones we find along the way.
