Wilma Theater Extends HAMLET Through 5/2
The Wilma Theater has announced that due to popular demand William Shakespeare's Hamlet has been extended through May 2, 2015. The Wilma is excited to produce what many believe to be the greatest play written by Shakespeare, and many others consider the greatest play written in the English language. The fight for the throne of Denmark, quest for moral righteousness, and complexities of vengeance are reexamined on our stage with resonances to contemporary society. The title character in Shakespeare's tragedy is played by the powerful actress Zainab Jah, who appeared as Prudence in last season's production of The Convert. Immediately following Hamlet, the Wilma will stage Tom Stoppard's now classic behind-the-scenes comedy Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, both directed by Wilma Artistic Director Blanka Zizka and using the same company of actors.
Tickets for the extension are $45 ($10 for students through Wilma WynTix and our campaign to Build the Audiences of Tomorrow), and are available at the Wilma's Box Office by calling 215.546.7824, visiting wilmatheater.org, or coming to the theater, located at 265 South Broad Street in Philadelphia.
