Hamlet Stooged August 10, 2007

Begotten of 'Wayne's World' out of 'The Simpsons,' this work by Australia's Frank Theatre is a Hamlet for the Stand Up Comedy generation. Meet Ophelia, a skinny, sexy modern gal, who vies for jackass Hamlet's affections with his punky dragged up Mom, Gertrude. The MC is the gypsy joker Yorick, come back from the dead as a crazy Russian puppeteer. And don't forget Hamlet's man-sized doggy, his one true pal. Set in Hamlet's all white bedroom (or is it a cell?) that's just as scrambled as young Hamlet's mixed up brain. See the world's first existential Air-Guitar solo and does Hamlet's lop-eared dog really know 'To be or not to be'?
