“I Hate Hamlet,” written by Paul Rudnick and directed by Michael O’Steen will be presented Sept. 19-21, 26, 28 at the McDade Center for Literary and Performing Arts, Royal Theater, at the University of Scranton. Friday and Saturday performances are at 8 p.m., Sundays at 2 p.m.
General admission is $8; senior citizens and children under 12 are admitted for $5.
Andrew Rally has the world at his feet – a hit television show, a gorgeous girlfriend – and he’s been asked to play the lead in a production of Hamlet in Central Park. The only problem: he’s also being haunted by the ghost of the American stage’s most famous “Melancholy Dane,” John Barrymore!
While renting the former residence of “The GreatProfile,” Andrew finds himself prompted, picked on, and parried by the late, great actor in an effort to be – or not to be – the next incarnation of one of Shakespeare’s most enduring characters.
The public is invited to attend.
