Event Description:
Hamlet is directed by Carl Turner in his directing debut with Shakespeare Northwest. Young Hamlet, scion of a rich and powerful family, is suddenly summoned home from graduate school because of the unexpected death of his father. His sorrow over the passing of his father is breathtakingly compounded by the hastily arranged marriage of his widowed mother to his father’s brother, Claudius. While in this raw emotional state, the ghost of his father appears, staggering Hamlet with a tale of how his death was caused not by snakebite, but rather poison poured into his ear by Uncle Claudius. Ghost Father demands revenge! Come see how it all ends.
