Hamlet at The Public House Theatre

Hamlet

The Public House Theatre
3914 N. Clark Street Chicago

Hamlet, coming home from school for her father's funeral, gets visited by (ironically enough) her dead dad. As Hamlet finds out that her uncle, who has just married her mom and become the worst step-dad ever, was the one who killed her father, she begins a wild chain of events to discover just how guilty her uncle/step-father is and get her vengeance on him. This holiday season, watch the Hamlet family household as they deal with a loony princess, harsh break-ups, terrible Christmas shows and murder. Lots and lots of murder. Enjoy this take on Hamlet at Chicago's Public House Theatre.

"...It’s difficult to figure out which version of Hamlet director Alex Demetralis is hoping to educe in his reworking of Shakespeare’s tragedy. Aside from prodigious editing and plot tweaking (Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are, curiously, on the castle’s night watch in the very first scene), he’s set the action on three holidays—Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day—and injected ample attendant foolishness: King Claudius first enters in a dime-store devil costume at a Halloween party, goofy holiday music accompanies every scene change."
