Nuance Theatre Company's New Production of HAMLET Hits the Stage Tonight

Coming in 2017 from Nu•ance Theatre Company: Look for the first Shakespearian showing of 2017... an ambitious new production of William Shakespeare's most enigmatic tale, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, directed by John DeSotelle, running tonight, January 28, through February 25, 2017 (today, January 28, features an opening night gala) on the Main Stage of John DeSotelle Studios, 300 West 43rd St., New York City.

John DeSotelle and Nu•ance Theatre Company have employed medieval and renaissance theatrical techniques with a 21st Century twist to create a visually stunning production exploring the web of stories within this oft-examined work of brilliance. "Hamlet is the story of many lives entangled in destiny from the death of a king and a stolen crown. Hamlet is not the only one to see the ghost of his father, the entire Castle Elsinore is haunted by his memory and his death," says director John DeSotelle about his focus on the multiple journeys explored in his production; "this production explores all the personal demons brought forth by this event."

Nu•ance Theatre has astonished audiences with technical wizardry in past productions including building an entire union hall for Waiting for Lefty; a complete tenement for Awake and Sing! and even making it rain on stage! This time, their experimental stage will be transformed into a castle in the 16th Century complete with a drawbridge, ramparts, and ghost... not an actor playing one... but a visual effect as old as the dark ages!

Join us in 2017, but until then... check out the HAMLET trailer!
