Think Hamlet has to be miserable? Well think again & and think fast! Shakespeare’s tragedy is reenacted in one hour by & you guessed it! & two women, in a provocative, funny and surprisingly moving theatrical event.
This insightful yet unpretentious adaptation has joys in it for Shakespeare super-fans and those who are new to the story. With a twinkle in its eye, A Two Woman Hamlet decenters the “hero” to fully explore the relationships between characters and the themes behind the play: unrequited love, grief, toxic masculinity, and the way mums think you still hang out with those irritating friends you left behind in eighth grade.
With the actors able to play both tracks, A Two Woman Hamlet is truly a different show every night! It’s fun, fierce, and decidedly feminist.
Based on an original concept by Mara Sherman, Hannah Sweet and Nicola Collett.
