CoHo Productions will stage William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' from January 15 to February 20 at the CoHo Theatre. With this brisk, exciting new cut, the play focuses on the familial themes of Hamlet. The trimming shortens the overall play and gives a sharp focus to the plot lines that directly tell the story. With a company of five actors and minimal tech, this is Hamlet in its essence. Without excessive technical distractions or out-of-context ideals (post-Apocalypse, No, thank you!), this version of Hamlet will remind you why you fell in love with this play in the first place.

'Hamlet' plays from January 15 to February 20 at the CoHo Theatre. You may purchase single tickets online here or call the box office at (503) 205-0715.
