Hamlet

Hamlet

Transcendent
1434 N. Western Ave Chicago

Set following the Summer of Love, this immersive new interpretation of Shakespeare's Hamlet transports Claudius and Gertrude to the anarchy and chaos of the American '60s, where Hamlet rails against the establishment. It's a heady time following the death of the king and Hamlet has trouble in mind as he plots to avenge the murder of his father. Revenge, sex, greed and the supernatural permeate Transcendent Ensemble Theatre Company's treatment of Shakespeare's classic play in Wicker Park. Arrive when doors open to toast Claudius and Gertrude at their wedding reception, where libations will be available for a donation.
