Hamlet at Long Beach Playhouse

By William Shakespeare, adapted by James Rice and Amanda Karr

Directed by James Rice

Peer into the mind of Shakespeare’s most dynamic character, HAMLET, in a unique adaptation of the bard’s most compelling masterpiece. Set in a 19th century asylum, we discover an inmate struggling with their father’s death. To cope, they relive the Hamlet saga over and over again. After a psychotic break, we enter their mind and the story proceeds as Shakespeare told it, but with a core Hamlet and four others playing his innocence, wisdom, justice, and vengeance. Come see the story you know and appreciate, but with an exciting twist that illuminates the play anew for those familiar and unfamiliar with this seminal tale.
