Imagine Hamlet infused with a shot or two of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest and you'll get an idea of the atmosphere of Moonwork's very clever and entertaining Bound In A Nutshell. Adaptors Gregory Sherman and Gregory Wolfe (who also directs) craft a new script exclusively out of lines from Shakespeare's text, resetting famous scenes and reassigning classic quotations into new contexts and creating a modern day setting where the Prince of Denmark is imprisoned in a mental institution, a surveillance camera fixed on him 24/7, for the murder of Polonius.

BOUND IN A NUTSHELL is a 90-minute adaptation of 'Hamlet' -- every word of which is Shakespeare's own -- set in a modern-day prison, complete with security cameras, prison guards and torture chambers.

Moonwork, Inc. -- a company known for its imaginative, original interpretations of Shakespeare, including critically acclaimed productions of RICHARD III, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM and JULIUS CAESAR -- presents the world premiere of BOUND IN A NUTSHELL, a one-act based on William Shakespeare's HAMLET, as part of the 12th Annual New York International Fringe Festival.
