An 8-member troupe from Shakespeare's Globe Theatre brings HAMLET to the Broad Stage in a vivid rendering that capitalizes on the traditional limitation of touring.

Following a widely acclaimed tour and run at the Globe in 2011, Shakespeare's Globe returns to the Schimmel Center, the company's New York home, elemental production of Hamlet. Using an Elizabethan-inspired stage in this scaled-down production, a handful of energetic players will perform this inexhaustible play.
