Performed by members of CTYP’s Teen Shakespeare Program, Hamlet is a steam-punk re-telling of Shakespeare’s infamous tragedy- with a twist. All of the major roles are gender-reversed! A teenage Hamlet struggles with the recent death of her mother, her father’s betrayal in marrying so soon and the treachery of her aunt, who has now become King. Something is indeed rotten in the state of Denmark. To top it all off, things are not going well between Hamlet and her boyfriend Ophelia. No one seems to care, no one seems to listen… Teenage angst reaches new heights in our bold adaptation of this epic tragedy.



The Teen Shakespeare Program features the stars of tomorrow on our stage today.
