Hamlet at 3rd Act Theatre Company

3rd Act Theatre Company, a 501(c)3 non-profit theatre company in Oklahoma City presents their final production of Season 3: UNKNOWN. Hamlet, written by William Shakespeare and adapted, re-imagined, and directed by Dakota Lee Bryant is the fourth Noire production of the season. Young Hamlet returns home from university to discover the world-shattering news that not only is her father newly dead, but her mother has married Claudius, Hamlet's uncle - making Claudius King. Late one night, the ghost of Hamlet's father appears to her, accusing Claudius of his murder and urging Hamlet to revenge, a goal in which she is only too happy to partake, setting into motion a train of events that destroys the royal family and nation of Denmark. The production stars a dynamic cast of local Oklahoma City talent with Kathy Skaggs as Hamlet, joined by Taylor Reich, Denise Hughes, Rachel Morgan, Jacey Nichole, Kaelin McGowen, Kate Adams, Tasneem Al-Michael, Reed Bentley, Thor Bautz, Ford Filson, Maurice Simmons, and Maddie Wall.
