Ambitious, Slow, Confusing

See it if you love Hamlet and want to see an interesting (yet slightly confusing) modernized staging in an intimate space.

Don't see it if you have high hopes for Hamlet (the character) as this one does not live up to expectations.

The Huffington Post
April 14th, 2015

"There is a new Hamlet in town, and Peter Sarsgaard has his back, giving this poetic youth of the ages a crisp, nuanced, and strikingly modern voice. This Hamlet is fresh faced...His iambic pentameter is a bit splayed out like a chicken born with legs akimbo, but it works, making Hamlet familiar, not so foreign, not so distant and entirely digestible...go see it, because of its very modern take and accessibility. And because Peter Sarsgaard's unique Hamlet is one you won't want to miss."
