Event description

Island Shakespeare Festival presents Shakespeare in a Backpack: Happy Hour Hamlet, a playful retelling of Hamlet like you’ve never seen before!

Two guards patrolling the grounds of Elsinore Castle meet for an after-shift beverage to compare notes on Shakespeare’s arguably most famous work. Featuring dazzling performances of the seven iconic Hamlet monologues, clever contemporary comedy banter, and even a fight scene, this 50-minute show will delight and inform even the newest theatergoer.
