William Shakespeare's

HAMLET

18th and LaVaca

September 16 - October 4

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark... The King has died, and Prince Hamlet abruptly leaves his studies at university to return home. Upon arriving, he is horrified to discover that his uncle has married his mother and taken the throne for himself. Thoughts of grief turn bloody when a midnight encounter with the ghost of the old king saddles Hamlet with a heavy task: revenge his father's murder. Not knowing what is true or whom to trust, Hamlet must fight for his soul, as he questions revenge, love, faith and mortality in this most modern of classical plays.

Also named "the greatest poem of the millennium," Shakespeare's most popular drama will finally be seen in the beautiful atmosphere of Austin's oldest and most majestic theatre! Starring Austin Shakespeare favorites Justin Scalise as Hamlet and Babs George as Gertrude, and featuring an ensemble of the city's finest talent, this production under the direction of Austin newcomer Andrew Matthews promises to be an unforgettable experience.

$15 ($7.50 Tickets are for the September 16 opening night performance only.)
