When the show must go on... but the cast doesn't.
The greatest tragedy in literature meets comic chaos in this hilarious theatrical script that asks the question: What happens when only two actors show up to perform Shakespeare's HAMLET?ABOUT THE PLAY
Hamlet Prince of Sweden is a Lecoq-style physical theatre show that transforms Shakespeare's most complex tragedy into an accessible and engaging theatrical experience. A theatre company, ready to debut with a full production of Hamlet, faces disaster on opening night as the entire cast, except for two actors, is involved in a car accident.
THE STORY
Two determined actors must somehow stage all of Hamlet - without lavish costumes, imposing sets, and complex choreography - completely on their own. A clownish nightmare ensues as they tackle Shakespeare's longest and most complicated work armed only with their wit, their theatrical skills, and sheer willpower.
We are at the court of Sweden.Actually, we are at the court of Denmark.
And we are really in trouble.
