Strap in for one of the most exciting and gut-wrenching tales ever created, told by the great storyteller William Shakespeare. Hamlet is the story of the young Prince of Denmark. After his father's death, his mother, Queen Gertrude, quickly remarries Hamlet's uncle, Claudius, who takes control of the crown. Hamlet is then haunted by the ghost of his late father, who informs him that he was, in fact, murdered by Claudius and demands that Hamlet swear revenge.  

This production is directed and designed by Cat Aceto and will be staged at the West View HUB Hubworks, employing puppetry and shadow and light effects to tell this exciting story.
