Hamlet

By Shifting Forest Storyworks
Players: 6-8
Genre: Shakespeare
This
adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet is
set the day after Hamlet accidentally kills Polonius. Hamlet is about to be
sent away to England in a few hours, and will not have another chance to kill
Claudius perhaps for years. The majority of the court, Ophelia included, has
been told that Polonius accidentally fell down the stairs.
At
the queen’s insistence a small gathering is held to send Hamlet off. In the
middle of it all, Laertes returns unexpectedly, demanding to see his father.
Very
basic familiarity with the plot and characters is required for players. The
Director should have read the play.
Cost: free
