The Day of Murders in the History of Hamlet March 20, 2010

Another striking installment of the US Koltes Project which presents works by Bernard Marie Koltes as translated into modern English. In this re-visioning of Shakespeare's original HAMLET, only four of the original play's main characters are featured (Hamlet, Gertrude, Ophelia, and Claudius). Koltes's Hamlet is a younger, faster, more urgent exploration of the family dynamic, sexuality, ambition and murder that will run in 7 Stages backstage March 6 28, 2010.
