Shakespeare in the Park: “Hamlet” Workshop and Performance
Description
Milwaukee based traveling theatre company Summit Players Theatre returns for another season of performing live, outdoor theatre! This year the players take on “Hamlet” from June 12 - July 26 in 18 different Wisconsin state parks. All performances are free to the public and preceded by 45-minute educational workshops. About “Hamlet”: With his father's recent death still looming in his mind, Hamlet, the Prince of Denmark, grapples with the truth of his father's death, his mother's betrayal and his uncle's role in all of it. Relationships are torn apart. Deceit will be revealed. At the heart of it all, Hamlet must decide between his duty and his doubt and learn what it means to be alive amidst power and privilege. This show runs 75-80 minutes with no intermission.
