Exclusive Photos: HAMLET Presented By The Acting Company at Sheen Center
Performances will run May 20-24.
From May 20-24 at Sheen Center, The Acting Company will present Hamlet, in a modern verse translation by Lisa Peterson, directed by Chika V. Ike. Check out exclusive photos from the show below!
The 75-minute adaptation, commissioned by and in partnership with Play On Shakespeare, brings this foundational tragedy to New Yorkers across the City. Centering Hamlet’s struggle to decide how to respond to his father’s death and his mother’s remarriage, this production is the perfect entrance point to this powerful story of grief and vengeance. The phenomenal young ensemble brings this complex story to life with clear, bold language and high-energy performances that are sure to engage audiences.
In advance of the public performances, Hamlet will be performed across NYC area schools including St. Catherine Academy, Edward R. Murrow High School, and I.S. 73 from April 29 through May 15. Designed to connect with middle and high school audiences, Hamlet is filled with all the ghosts, duels, emotion, and excitement that entertain students as it draws them into the language of dramatic literature. Each in-school residency includes a post-show discussion and offers The Acting Company’s award-winning Learning Through Theater workshops.
