These are the points I keep reminding myself of when I work with a Shakespeare text, whether as an adapter, a director, or an actor.

Wait until you see what uncommon (but textually supported) possibilities the cast, the designers, and I have dug up from this familiar text! This is NOT the stereotypical Hamlet, moping about in a doublet and hose.

And because this play can support endless interpretations, even if you saw the terrific Indianapolis Shakespeare Company Hamlet I promise you we'll still have some surprises for you.

We will be at Bard Fest, October 17-27, on the Basile Stage of the IndyFringe Theatre. Ticket link is coming soon!

Bard Fest now has its THIRD dedicated performance of Hamlet! We are so humbled by and so grateful for the public’s support of the present and future of Indy’s only annual Shakespeare festival! AND, we’d sure like to give back to some of our OTHER partners, too! There are THREE performances left to be dedicated. Go to www.indybardfest.com/the-bard-gives-back today!

Our THE BARD GIVES BACK campaign is DEDICATED to DEDICATING our four remaining performances to our partner organizations by the end of August!

Dedicated performances mean the partner organization gets a donation of a portion of Bard Fest’s proceeds AND gets to promote its message at the performance.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! Go to https://www.indybardfest.com/the-bard-gives-back to donate to Hamlet on behalf of your favorite partner organization TODAY!

This is (most of) our cast and (some of) our crew, photographed at our first read-through last week. Such a talented bunch!

We had our first read-through last night. "Buckle up" isn't gonna cover it, Indy. You're gonna need this to deal with what we'll have coming at you. October 17-27 at Bard Fest.
