A Comedy by Paul Rudnick

Directed by Stavros Sakiadis

May 7th-10th, 13th-17th (evening 7:30pm) & 11th (matinee 2:30pm)

Set in John Barrymore’s old untouched circa 1930’s apartment in New York City, I Hate Hamlet follows successful television actor Andrew Rally as he struggles with the challenges of taking on the dream role of Hamlet, for the stage. To add to the angst he is already dealing with, he is also at odds with a girlfriend who is keeping a firm grip on chastity, and thanks to another friend, a wannabe medium and amateur séance holder, he is now playing host to the ghost of John Barrymore himself.

Join Us for a Special Talkback Session!

Following the Friday, May 16th performance of I Hate Hamlet, we invite you to stay for a post-show talkback session with the cast and the directors.
This is your chance to meet the actors, ask questions, and get an insider’s look into the making of the production. Whether you’re curious about character choices, stage design, fight choreography or what it was like to bring I Hate Hamlet to life, we’d love to hear from you!
We look forward to seeing you there!
