Hamlet
by William Shakespeare
directed by John Butterfield
adapted for Butterfield 8 by Maureen-Theresa
Williams
"Angels and ministers of grace, defend us"
In England, Queen
Victoria continues her reign. Around the world, the harnessing of steam
power for the benefit of mankind has allowed the speculations of visionaries
such as Jules Verne to become reality. In Denmark, the King has died under
mysterious circumstances, and his Queen has been remarried— to the late
King's brother. The Prince, Hamlet, suspects his uncle had a hand in his
father's death, but what can he do to prove it— and after proving it,
revenge it?
Join us for Shakespeare's classic tragedy, presented in the Steampunk style.
