As part of the 17th annual Sam Scripps Shakespeare Festival, CENTERstage Productions presents William Shakespeare’s iconic “Hamlet” in a new adaptation by director Lou Trapani. The show will run from March 8 – 24 with performances on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.

Neither your Elizabethan revenge tragedy, nor any of the modern theatre’s/contemporary cinema’s brooding hero plays or avenging angel action flicks or orphan/prince psycho-dramas, this “Hamlet” is about families and their angsts in 2024 America. This production is fast and intense with an off-beat cast in modern dress, a bare set, and a handful of sound and lighting effects.
