About Ruth N. Halls
“What a piece of work is a man—how noble in reason; how infinite in faculties, in form and moving; how express and admirable in action; how like an angel in apprehension; how like a god!”
–Act II, scene 2

 

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Murray McGibbon

Arguably the greatest play written in the English language, Shakespeare’s masterpiece returns to the Indiana stage for the first time in more than fifty years. The play’s exquisite language and excruciating violence collide to create one of theatre’s truly timeless tragedies. Prodded by the ghost of his slain father, the Prince of Denmark seeks justice against his usurping uncle and malevolent mother, all the while falling into an ever deepening exploration of his own troubled psyche. Both pensive and penetrating, Hamlet probes the struggle for power and the dynamics of family, its lyrical beauty demonstrating why its author stands as one of the supreme poets of the stage.
