Hamlet
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Paul Mason Barnes
2017-2018 Mainstage Season
The Story
Spurred on to vengeance by the ghost of his father, Prince Hamlet hovers in limbo between bloody retribution and madness. Potentially fatal indecision delays his every step. With its profound soliloquies, complexly shaded characters and brutal plotting, it’s Shakespeare’s most enduring tragedy.
