I Hate Hamlet is the unapologetically silly and hilarious tale of how Andy Rally, a successful young actor whose TV series has been cancelled, reluctantly comes to New York to take on one of the most challenging roles in theater history - Hamlet!

Playwright Paul Rudnick invites the audience to laugh at the craziness that goes along with performing Shakespeare ('It's, like, algebra on stage!') and the wily Hollywood producer who tries to lure Andy back to L.A. with a new series that could make him millions.
