Hamlet April 19, 2007

Signal Ensemble Theatre wraps up its fourth season on the Chopin Theatre mainstage with a grand-scale, classically themed staging of Shakespeare's seminal revenge tragedy, Hamlet, directed by Ronan Marra. Following the death of his father, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, returns home to find his uncle now occupies the throne and the queen's bed. Spurred by the ghost of his father and surrounded by spies, he must avenge his father's murder. An incisive portrait of a thinking man forced to act under chilling circumstances, Shakespeare's greatest revenge tragedy is perhaps the most widely read play in Western literature.
