Event Details
The Shakespeare Project of Chicago kicks off its 25th Anniversary Season with one of Shakespeare’s most popular works, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Hamlet returns to Denmark from his university studies to mourn the death of his father, King Hamlet, who died two months earlier. His Uncle Claudius has now married Hamlet’s mother, Gertrude. Suddenly, the ghost of his father appears to Hamlet and tells him that Claudius poisoned him. Hamlet vows to avenge his father's murder. J.R. Sullivan directs a cast of Shakespeare Project favorites.
At 7 p.m. the preshow introduction begins. As there are no sets, props, or costumes, you may find the Project’s readings help you truly experience Shakespeare’s words. Following the play, a discussion, and opportunity to interact with the actors and creative team will further enrich your experience. This program is sponsored by the Mount Prospect Public Library Foundation, which raises funds for special programming and events.
