Play Title: The
Trial of Hamlet Synopsis:
Popular culture and classical literature collide as Shakespeare's
most popular character is thrust into the modern media spotlight.
The result is a new play that ponders the essential "what-ifs"
of Hamlet's psyche and motivations. Drawn from modern media-trial
frenzies and laced with a keen sense of humor, this contemporary re-examination
the Bard's classic play finds Hamlet defending himself for the brutal
murder of Polonius-the forgotten crime embedded in the complex and
mysterious world of Shakespeare's most engaging tragedy. Previous Productions:
