About
Ophelia Thinks Harder (abridged)
by Jean Betts
Jean Betts’ sharp, funny, and fearless play reimagines Shakespeare’s Hamlet from Ophelia’s point of view. What if Ophelia refused to drown quietly and instead demanded her own story? Packed with wit, absurdity, and biting satire, this abridged version shines a light on questions of power, gender, and who gets to hold the pen in history.
Performed by the talented young ensemble of Wellington Young Actors, this is a bold and energetic take on a New Zealand classic of feminist theatre.
One day only — don’t miss it!
