Happy Hour Hamlet at Island Shakespeare Festival

Island Shakespeare Festival presents Shakespeare in a Backpack: Happy Hour Hamlet, a playful retelling of Hamlet like you’ve never seen before! Two guards patrolling the grounds of Elsinore Castle meet for an after-shift beverage to compare notes on Shakespeare’s arguably most famous work. Featuring dazzling performances of the seven iconic Hamlet monologues, clever contemporary comedic banter, and even a fight scene, this 45-minute show will delight and inform even the newest theatergoer. PLEASE NOTE: This event will take place at various venues in Clinton, Langley, Freeland, Coupeville and Oak Harbor. See dates below for more details. Book in advance or pay-what-you-will at the door. All library events are free to attend. This program is generously sponsored by Puget Sound Energy!
