Theater at The Tank Presents HAMLET Beginning 5/4

Rebellious Subjects Theatre brings its lively and eclectic classical work to The Tank in May 2011 with a reimagining of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Using both of The Tank's theaters and the areas in and around as their largest playing space yet, the company delves into a modern world of Elsinore where cameras, both hidden and exposed, surround The Players, blurring the boundaries of performance and privacy, exploring the nuances of appearance, deception, exploitation, and action within the world of the play.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Rebellious Subjects Theatre is the brainchild of NYU/Tisch grads Lauren Ferebee and Patrick Woodall, who founded the company in the spring of 2008. Their vision for the company was staging low-budget, well-rehearsed classical plays in unusual spaces with the aim of reaching and inspiring a new audience demographic with old works. The 2008-2009 season kicked off with Shakespeare's Twelfth Night at Bushwick's bar/art gallery/live music space Goodbye Blue Monday, continued with a Halloween concert of Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood, and finished 2008 with Chekhov's Three Sisters at Lefferts Historic House in Prospect Park. In the summer of 2009 the company put on the Henry V trilogy (Henry VI, Parts 1 and 2, and Henry V) in Prospect Park's Music Pagoda. After some time off, the RST is thrilled to be back in the business of making theatre, and hopes to be back at Lefferts House in 2011 as well as forging new relationships with The Tank and Galapagos Art Space, among others.
