I've Got Tickets I've Seen It

In this brilliant, funny, and moving adaptation, Peruvian director Chela De Ferrari intertwines the text of Shakespeare’s Hamlet with the lived experiences of a young ensemble of eight actors with Down syndrome. With wry humor, playful energy, pop music, and pointed critique, the performers confront the play’s timeless themes—grief, revenge, and existence—with striking honesty and insight. Drawing resonant parallels between Shakespeare’s Denmark and our contemporary world, they offer a vision of a more just and joyful imagined future. Hailed internationally and presented in 11 countries, Teatro la Plaza returns to New York City as part of TFANA’s ’26 season following an appearance at Lincoln Center’s Big Umbrella Festival.
