“A love letter to theatre itself. For admirers of Hamlet this is a palpable hit!”—Edinburgh Guide

Denmark. 2:00 a.m. A hotel room. Three weary travelers, an unexpected will, and a production of Hamlet to rehearse before morning.

Tragedy and humor converge in this new play about the challenges of relationships, forgiveness, and Shakespeare. A real-life family plays the bereaved loved ones of the once-great actor Henry Elder, who was scheduled to perform his career-defining solo Hamlet at the Elsinore Shakespeare Festival. As they discover, Henry is determined to not let anything as inconvenient as death prevent him from being there! With Shakespeare’s Hamlet as the spindle around which the family’s story revolves, this award-winning play is by turns both absurd and poignant.
