Hamlet at 14th Street Y Theater

SAWTOOTH, a brand-new NYC theatre company founded by Reid Watson and Leah Schwartz, is proud to present its debut production: William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, running for six performances January 13–17, 2027, at The 14Y Theater, 344 East 14th Street. Watson directs, and Schwartz plays Hamlet. Tickets are $35 and on sale now at sawtooththeatre.com/tickets.

When power corrupts truth and certainty slips away, how do we find hope? Sawtooth’s Hamlet approaches Shakespeare’s tragedy as a search for clarity in a world where reality is increasingly difficult to trust. Blending minimalist staging, expressive movement, and immersive sound design, the production unfolds as a surreal whirlwind in which inner thought and outer action blur, time slips, and the familiar becomes unpredictable.

The result is a fresh, visceral take on a classic: a world that feels less like a fixed reality than a dream coming apart at the seams.

The cast features Tori Anderson, Julia Baker, Lillian Bornstein, Camila Calderon, Jillian Marie Cicalese*, Natasha Conti, Jaida Foreman, Stephanie Jeane*, Helena Mueller*, Madeline Rose Parks*, Molly Revenson, Leah Schwartz*, and Colleen Wood*.

Lighting design and technical direction are by Anthony Fernandez, fight choreography is by Helena Mueller*, and stage management is by Allie Kroeper.
