This audacious re-imagining of Hamlet brings you into the singular mind of one of Los Angeles’ most prolific Shakespearean actors.
Navigating the terrain between grief and humor, David Melville brings a deeply personal perspective to Shakespeare's text as he moves seamlessly between spoken words and instrumentation in the vibrant solo performance. Along the way, he exhumes the most famous theatrical skull, Yorick, to examine the blurry line between humor and grief. Directed with clarity and grit by Cary Reynolds. From the producers of LA's Shakespeare in the Park.

Interview: David Melville His New Solo Show HAMLET (SOLUS)
March 13, 2025 The title role in Shakespeare’s enduring tragedy Hamlet is on the bucket list for many actors wishing to challenge their range of emotions while offering their own interpretation of the iconic role. And in his new solo play, Hamlet (Solus), creator and performer David Melville (pictured), co-founder of Independent Shakespeare Co., plays all the roles while intertwining the text with original songs. I decided to speak with David about his interpretation of the role he has played many times, including why he decided to stress the grief in the story as well as making (the skull of) Yorick an important character, and how the production evolved.About the Theatre
