Ninjaz of Drama is a San Francisco performing group that brings both classical and original works of theatre to the smaller stage.

As a San Francisco Bay Area theater director and producer, I'm proud and equally daunted to stage and bring to life one of the greatest plays ever written for the world stage, the tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark by William Shakespeare. The play with its poetry and philosophical insights owes to the memorable ancient Greek tragedies and comedies for its cultural impact; indeed Shakespeare's masterwork can be called the "Godfather" of classical theatre with its themes on family, power, and revenge, and whose popularity has yet to dwindle.
