HAMLET: THE MODERN PLAYER’S GUIDE is a vibrant, youthful solo adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic, filled with music and wonder. It is a virtuosic performance that serves as the perfect introduction to Shakespeare’s most famous play, but also works as the ultimate celebration of his enduring genius. A single actor-musician embodies all the main characters, aided by funky, romantic and catchy original songs inspired by famous monologues in the play. Shakespeare’s language becomes accessible, joyful and completely mesmerizing. Get ready for Hamlet like you’ve never seen it before and let yourself be guided by a modern take on Shakespeare that will inspire and transform young audiences.
