Director’s Note

When the show does well, it is due to the dedication of the cast and the crew, and when it does not, it is the fault of the director. I have been afforded the humbling privilege of getting to be the director in that equation.

Synopsis

The King of Denmark is murdered by his brother Claudius, who takes both his crown and his wife Gertrude from him. Getrude’s son Hamlet returns to mourn the passing of his father, and upon his return is visited by the ghost of his father who tells him of his death. Hamlet swears an oath of revenge and sets out to kill his uncle, but for the young man who does not want the throne, king killing is no easy task.
