Hamlet at Austin Gardens

Directed by Oak Park Festival Theatre Producing Artistic Director Peter Andersen, Hamlet is William Shakespeare's tragedy in which Prince Hamlet, called home by his father's sudden death and his mother's swift remarriage, finds the court of Denmark transformed and deeply unsettled. When a ghost appears with a terrible accusation, Hamlet is pulled into a relentless search for truth, testing the limits of loyalty, love, and revenge. The cast features Brew Bos as Hamlet, Brenna Distassio as Laertes, Olive Gallagher as Ophelia, Jodi Gage as Gertrude, and Josh Carpenter as Claudius, among others. The production is staged in repertory alongside The Importance of Being Earnest for the first time in company history.
