Written by David Nonemaker and Eric Satterfield
Directed by Eric Satterfield
Years before Hamlet uttered, "To be or not to be," things were not yet rotten in the State of Denmark. In Elsinore, an inspired prequel to Shakespeare's classic, both family and kingdom are poisoned by power, lust, envy, betrayal, and murder. Elsinore imagines the years before Hamlet avenges his father's murder - allowing the audience to experience the precise moment before Hamlet begins.

News About Elsinore at Greenfinch Theater & Dive
Review: ELSINORE is a Hamlet Prequel filled with Envy and Bloodlust
October 10, 2025 Elsinore is a bit of a coming-of-age tragedy peppered with romance, envy, and bloodlust, setting the stage for the beginning of Hamlet. It written with formal vernacular to enhance the story’s credibility. David Nonemaker and Eric Satterfield’s storytelling relies on many Shakespearean conventions including the use of soliloquies and asides, ghostly visits, a mix of comedy and tragedy, conflict, and one murder most foul. The one thing that is missing is a resolution. Elsinore is a bit like episodic television. It ends with a cliffhanger, but audiences already know the rest of the story.About the Theatre
