Hamlet

HAMLET, by William Shakespeare, is the single play that encompasses the central questions of existence that applies to all humans. The play examines the conflict between private versus public duty and the individual’s obligation to the self and the State. It is rooted in classical principles of examining the essential questions – Who Am I? Why Do I Exist? What Must I Do?

What makes HAMLET unique is that it highlights how in today’s world everyone is Hamlet. The audience’s experience of the production will be entirely from Hamlet’s Point of View: we present only the scenes that the character Hamlet observes and/or participates in. Within the scenes presented, interior cuts have been made to streamline the action and focus the events of the play on Hamlet’s journey.
