‘I Hate Hamlet’ debuts tonight

BY CHRIS MCDANIEL PENINSULA DAILY NEWS

PORT ANGELES — For protagonist Andrew Rally, portrayed by Brian Wendt of Port Angeles, the lesson he must learn in “I Hate Hamlet” is to be true to himself, said director Barb Frederick. “This young man has some decisions to make about his life and what destiny means,” she said. The play — a comedydrama written by Paul Rudnick in 1991 — debuts at 7:30 this evening at the Port Angeles Community Playhouse, 1235 E. Lauridsen Blvd. It continues with several performances through Oct. 9. This is the first play of the Port Angeles Community Players’s 64th season, sponsored by Hal-

lett Advisors. Frederick invites the public to attend the debut, because “there is no energy like the energy on an opening night,” she said this week. “It is when all the work finally pays off for a cast, because they really get to perform. They get that audience, they get that reaction and feed off of that. That is really what we do it for anyway, the audience.” In the play, set in New York City, Rally is a successful television star who has been cast in the leading role of Hamlet in the Shakespeare play of the same name in Central Park, but doesn’t want to do it, Frederick said. Complicating matters, his girlfriend Deirdre McDavey — portrayed by

with him. Rally is apprehensive about returning to New York, but his realtor Felicia Dantine — portrayed by Mindy Gelder — rents him an apartment once inhabited by John Barrymore. Barrymore was a reallife thespian, and grandfather of movie actress Drew Barrymore, who was cast Misha Cassella-Blackburn and Brian Wendt in the leading role of nuzzle onstage. “Hamlet” in 1922, according to historians. Barrymore’s portrayal led to him being called the “greatest living American tragedian” by the Brooklyn Life Magazine in November of that year. When writing, “I Hate Hamlet,” Rudnick was living in an apartment previously owned by Barrymore, and drew inspiration from that fact, according to historians. In “I Hate Hamlet,” Troy reminisces about her romance with Barrymore, and convinces Rally to host a séance to bring him back. When Barrymore — portrayed by Pat Owens — appears as an apparition dressed in Elizabethan-era garb, Rally proclaims his hatred of “Hamlet.” Kathleen Balducci and Pat Owens dance during TURN

Hamlet: Will actor accept part, fulfill destiny?

CONTINUED FROM 6 Barrymore presses Rally to accept the part and fulfill his destiny, going so far as to challenge him to a sword fight in the middle of the New York loft. Rally is then contacted by a Hollywood producer — portrayed by Michael Aldrich — who offers him a leading role in a new TV pilot, forcing him to choose between his role in “Hamlet,” beloved by his girlfriend, or potential fame and fortune in California. While referencing the works of Shakespeare, “I Hate Hamlet,” was written for modern audiences, Frederick said. “I don’t want people to think they are coming to see Shakespeare,” she said. “There is a little bit of [Elizabethan era] language in it and a Hamlet twist to it, but that is not all.” Rudnick, Frederick said, “has given us a rare treat — a play with a lot of wit and fun without insulting anyone or assuming the audience is not intelligent. “That’s what drew me to it. It is full of a lot of wit and charm and very funny lines.” The cast has been preparing for tonight’s perfor-
