The Tragicall Historie of Hamlet Prince of Denmarke at Studios 353

Bad Quarto performs the earliest printed version of William Shakespeare's Hamlet this spring!

"To be or not to be, ay there's the point."

Before Hamlet was one of the greatest works of western civilization, it was the story of a prince wrestling with the aftermath of his father's death and seeking justice for his murder. Originally published in 1603, the "bad quarto" of Hamlet stands much of what we know about the play from its longer versions on its head, and forces us to consider Shakespeare as a man who wielded not only the mightiest pen in his company, but also very likely carried a sword on its stages.

Bad Quarto Productions is excited to bring the first quarto of Hamlet to the stage March 26th - April 10th at Studios 353 in NYC's theatre district.
