# Event Details - **Event Name**: Auditions: Noir Hamlet - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 01 Aug, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sun, 02 Aug, 2026 at 05:55 pm - **Event Description**: Welcome to the Elsinore Detective Agency, where business is dead—literally. "Little H" is nursing a cheap rye and a dying legacy when his first real client materializes in the shadows: the ghost of his father, blowing a mournful saxophone and demanding justice for his own murder. The prime suspect? H’s slick Uncle Claude, who didn't waste a second taking over the family racket and marrying H's mother, Gertrude. Backed only by Rae—his sharp-tongued secretary by day and smoky speakeasy chanteuse by night—Little H sets out to shake down his own treacherous family to uncover the truth. Will he crack the case, or just crack wise? Packed with hard-boiled betrayal, smoky jazz, and deadly dark comedy, Noir Hamlet proves that digging up family secrets can be a real killer.
