Post5 Theatre takes audiences into the mind of Shakespeare's arguably most famous and complex protagonist, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Directed by Portland stalwart Paul Angelo, Post5's abridged and multimedia vision of Hamlet marks the third production of its 2014 season, bringing its trademark fast-paced, here-and-now approach to what many consider to be Shakespeare's masterpiece. Utilizing Post5's intimate Black-Box theatre and new multimedia projections to create a show that is close, personal, and deeply psychological; Post5's Hamlet will focus on Prince Hamlet's relationship with his late father, and the universal themes of doubt, trust, and duty that accompany that.

When soldiers go to war, they find themselves in unbearable, life-threatening situations, and terrible things happen. Then, if they survive, they have to find their way back to the places they lived before, where society expects them to pick up where they left off.

Ithaka runs May 28 through June 30 on the Morrison Stage, 1515 SW Morrison, Portland, OR. BroadwayWorld has a first look below.
