Princess Hamlet is an adaptation of the classic play created by NYU Tisch Drama Alum Sophie Leiton Toomey. This production of Hamlet turns the story on its head in a way you've never seen before. Originally pitched and performed for NYU's Shakespeare in the Square during the pandemic, Princess Hamlet tells the story of a young woman completely and utterly lost after her father suddenly dies. Isolated from her school, her friends, her life, her throne and the boy she thought could have been the one. Hamlet's life gets completely upended when aunt marries her surviving father and the ghost of her deceased one points to her aunt as his murdered. As Hamlet's indecisiveness, depression, grief and rage pull her in every direction imaginable, and with bodies dropping all around her, some by her own actions, will Princess Hamlet die as the person that was stolen from her or the monster she herself chose to become?
Love, loss, agony, grief, family, selfishness, life...and the consequences of our actions...Princess Hamlet will take you on a journey with the classic tale as you've never seen it before.
