HAMLET
By William Shakespeare Directed by Charles McMahon
January 30 – March 14, 2027
Hamlet finds himself in a world of danger when his father's ghost appears to him charging murder and demanding revenge. Before taking action, Hamlet devises plots to uncover the truth from family and friends obstructing his search for the truth. In this masterpiece of his artistic maturity, Shakespeare gives us magnificent poetry and a searing examination of the human soul put to an impossible test.
