Synopsis:
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Prince Hamlet returns home from abroad to find a country in shambles, a family torn apart, and a father dead in the ground. Visited by a ghost with the face of his father, who begs that the prince exact revenge for his “foul and most unnatural murder” at the hand of King Claudius, the young prince begins to unravel in an existential crisis for the ages. Vividly rendered in some of the Bard’s most earth-shattering language, the resulting maelstrom of violence, betrayal, Machiavellian maneuvering, and lost love resulted in a play that has formed the very foundation of our western theatrical tradition.

Set in a moody, expressionist nightmare evocative of silent-era horror films, this exciting new production will bring a sense of gothic decay to Shakespeare’s revolutionary tragedy. This production will be directed by Michael Tamburrino and primarily performed in Fenimore’s gorgeous Lakeside Lucy B. Hamilton Amphitheater.

Featuring performances by: Jackie Madejski, John Melvin, Peter Exton, Allie Tabor, Samantha Sloma, Sharon Rankins-Burd, Carl Loewenguth, Charlie Reiman, Tahya Hurn, Courtney Murphy, J Lentner, Colleen Bunn, Lazaro Mahar, Vieno Rowan, Carrie Rowan, Annika Murray, and Kerri Hogle.

This production is directed by Manager of Performing Arts Programs, Michael Tamburrino, stage managed by Cara Giardina, scenic designed by Katie Marvel, with technical direction/carpentry by Gary Burlew, costumes by Courtney Murphy and Deb Anderson, fight choreography by Jim Drake, and original music by Tim Iversen.
