Synopsis

A pair of identical twins are separated at birth, along with their identical twin servants. Quite by accident, they end up in the same city and everything gets higgledy piggledy.

If that weren’t confounding enough, in this production the lead actor has rage quit right before the performance and the rest of the cast and crew is scrambling to replace him. Extreme slapstick and clowning ensues, but the show must go on though, right? Right?

Synopsis

Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, returns home to Elsinore following the sudden and unexpected death of their father, King Hamlet. Upon their arrival, they are confronted with the unsettling news that their mother, Queen Gertrude, has already remarried—to Claudius, Hamlet’s uncle, who now sits on the throne as King of Denmark. When Hamlet encounters the spirit of their father, who reveals that he was murdered by Claudius and requires revenge, they are consumed by questions of justice, morality, and the pull of cosmic fate.

Set in a world where the veil between here and the afterlife grows thin, the stars look on as Hamlet confronts the truth no one else is willing to see.
