Hamlet

Phoenix Theatre San Francisco
414 Mason St. San Francisco

Visited by his father's ghost and tasked with avenging his murder, Prince Hamlet descends into madness and homicidal rage in Shakespeare's masterpiece. In the Bard's immortal words, Hamlet meditates on the nature of life versus death, fate versus choice and art versus reality in an eloquence that has yet to be matched: "To be or not to be" will forever provoke soul-searching in audiences. Something may be rotten in Denmark, but Hamlet remains fresh -- especially in San Francisco performing group Ninjaz Of Drama's take. Edited down to a chamber drama and performed by a earnest cast in modern dress with minimal staging, this faithful yet innovative interpretation of the play is sure to entertain both the discerning lover of Shakespeare and those experiencing it for the first time. The psychological thrill ride of revenge, sex, greed and the supernatural comes to the Phoenix Theatre San Francisco.
