Hamlet Isn't Dead (HID) has spent the past eleven years infusing Shakespeare's plays (as well as other classical and new works) with intimacy, immediacy, and joy. The HID-style breathes new life into these essential texts via live music, direct address, and plenty of playful "HIDiocy"! Our goal is to perform the entire canon in the order it was written (more or less) to examine Shakespeare's growth as an artist alongside our own growth as a company of creatives. With 30 plays done and only 8 to go, HID has something to love for the literary scholar and classical novice alike. It's theatre you'll love, whether you like it or not!
