Guild Hall Players, an award-winning Wichita theatre, is presenting Shakespeare’s HAMLET March 19-22.  The production adapted by Joseph Urick of WSU and directed by Dr. Phil Speary emphasizes the mystery, intrigue, and suspense of this captivating tale of haunting, murder, and revenge. Preserving Shakespeare’s masterful language while paring down the action to a little more than two hours, this production will be accessible and very entertaining for your students.  Featuring veteran professional Shakespearean actors, Joseph Urick from WSU as Hamlet and Mark Mannette from Newman as Claudius, the cast of 16 local actors will fulfill the Bard’s “purpose of playing, whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as ‘twere, the mirror up to nature.”

The show opens by immediately breaking the fourth wall as the audience is introduced to our actors for the evening. Joseph and Andrew are lead by Ryan, a Shakespearean scholar with questionable credentials, and their goal is performing the entire canon of Shakespeare in one night.
