Half Hour Hamlet

PHAB Productions—School of Contemporary Dancers

I didn’t catch the name but apparently Patrick Hercamp is unavailable and a guest performer relates Hamlet. I can’t speak for the scheduled performer but the substitute gives an entertaining, and hilarious recount of the Shakespearean classic. I’m not sure the Bard would have approved of this irreverent rendition but audience lavished in this good time.

The story runs at tornado speed and the half-hour whips by effortlessly. I would have liked to see a longer show to give some more background but the gist is here.

[Editor Note: John Huston was the replacement and will be performing the Saturday and Sunday shows as well.]
