"We see what we are but cannot tell what we shall be."
The court of Denmark is in turmoil. The King is dead, his widowed Queen Gertrude is remarried, and their son Hamlet has been passed over for the crown by his uncle, the King's brother...who also happens to be Gertrude's new husband. When the ghost of the dead King Hamlet appears, warning of a treacherous conspiracy, young Prince Hamlet vows revenge on his wicked uncle. But anger and grief are poor substitutes for clarity, and Hamlet's thirst for vengeance soon ends up wreaking havoc on the very people who love him most...namely, his own mother Gertrude, and his childhood sweetheart, Ophelia.
Conceived and directed by actor/director Christopher Marino, this sleek new adaptation of the Bard's classic tragedy explores the human cost of masculine rage and patriarchal values, while also celebrating the way Shakespeare's women speak truth to power.
