: How can a text that is more than four hundred years old speak to the realities of today? In this 90-minute workshop performance of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, a new generation brings their voices to this famed play to find what resonates most personally, and thus most universally. Under the direction of Associate Professor Tamsen Wolff, students participated in the spring course, crosslisted in English, theater and humanities, “Topics in Drama: Performing Hamlet,” using the tools of classical training to build their skills as actors and tell a story that is fundamentally about young people struggling with mental health, sexuality, and circumstances far beyond their control. The ensemble features senior Julien Alam as Hamlet. Admission: Free and open to the public; no tickets required. Accessibility: The Drapkin Studio is an accessible venue. Guests in need of access accommodations are invited to contact the Lewis Center at least one week in advance at lewiscenter@princeton.edu
