Hamlet

In William Shakespeare’s The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark,  a young prince acts mad to avoid assassination in a corrupted court while contemplating revenge for his father’s murder. Occurring in a time for elections, morality has acquiesced to the threat of violence, promising only a grave solution. In 90 minutes, Shakespeare Troupe of South Florida examines the existential threat that the power of the state holds against the power of the imagination in the individual. Hamlet is stripped down to its essentials in the intimate jewel box of the Sol Theatre: a ghost appears with a dreaded message, there’s been a coup, power is being consolidated as witnesses are silenced, spies are everywhere and traps are being set. A mind-bending web of intrigue entices and ensnares all who marvel at this polished gem of dramatic literature.
