Hamlet
About
BUST Returners Show
The king is dead, the queen remarried and the prince still mourns his father. When Prince Hamlet learns of the treacherous way in which his father died, he seeks retribution. But is there a way it can be carried out that does not leave him feeling as guilty as the offender? As Hamlet faces this moral dilemma, he scorns love and makes enemies of those that were once his friends, leading some to seek revenge on him. Does this cycle end? Are there ever winners when it comes to vengeance or only survivors?
This performance will have a 20-minute interval.
