Hamlet (Bonneville Theater Company) NYC Reviews and Tickets

In the 1990s, the evangelical Christian scene was in the throes of a spiritual shift. It was the period that brought about the rise of the mega-church, the birth of the "cool" pastor, the increasing popularity of Christian rock, and the revitalization of youth ministries. When Shakespeare wrote 'Hamlet,' England was also in the midst of a fluctuating theological scene, as the masses struggled to find their spiritual identity in the wake of the Great Reformation. Bonneville Theater Company turns Shakespeare's royal family into a church family, as Hamlet returns home from school to find his uncle helming the congregation his father once led.
