Oak Meadow Park
Los Gatos, CA
The Los Gatos Shakspeare Festival 2006 presents Hamlet:
8 PM performances: July 14th, 23rd, 29th, and August 4th
The days of ease have ended in the life of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. His father has died, and he is now obliged to remain at the Danish court under the watchful eye of his uncle Claudius; who has seized the throne, prevented an invasion by the Norwegians, and after a short courtship, married Hamlet's mother, Gertrude. From this sorrowful environment, Hamlet turns for love and solace to the pretty, modest Ophelia, daughter of the lord chamberlain Polonius. Meanwhile, Hamlet's one true friend, Horatio has related that the late King's ghost has been sighted on the castle battlements. In a terrifying encounter, Hamlet learns from the ghost that his father was murdered by his brother, Claudius. This sets in motion Hamlet's feigned madness, a ploy in his ultimately tragic attempts retribution against his uncle and other disloyal members of the court.
