Hamlet in Urbana

It's a Two Show Day in Urbana!

Join Starling Shakespeare Company for Hamlet!

When: July 27th, 2025 - 6:30 pm

Where: Lake House at Crystal Lake Park. 206 W. Park Urbana, IL 61801

What: To be [at the show] or not to be, that is the question! Shakespeare’s Hamlet is the classic story of a family, and a kingdom, torn apart by political unrest, corruption, and grief. When the king of Denmark is killed under mysterious circumstances, Prince Hamlet is visited by a specter that accuses Hamlet's uncle, the new king of Denmark, of foul play. Hamlet must then decide whether or not to trust the spirit, and his own suspicions, and avenge his father.

With only 5 actors, Starling's shows are fast-placed, playful, and nimble interpretations of the Bard's classic plays. And at only 90 minutes, they're perfect for date night or an afternoon out with the family!

Bring a blanket or lawn chair, and a picnic!

And feel free to join us earlier in the day for The Comedy of Errors at 1:00!
