THE MAROWITZ HAMLET presented by hiSTORYstage
Did you ever imagine what thoughts, emotions, and memories must have flowed through Hamlet's shattered mind as he lay dying in Horatio's arms?  Charles Marowitz, acclaimed stage director and playwright, has created a free-adaptation of the great Shakespeare play which does precisely that.  This version unfolds in a stream of consciousness fashion, like the glimpses of rapid memory flashes in Hamlet's final moments:  Characters appear on stage at random, and then disappear, as Hamlet's mind conjures up his memories of them, and imaginings of the events that preceded his death.   Marowitz has drastically shortened Hamlet for this version, taking the venerable five-act, four-hour story down to about 90 minutes, inter-cutting characters, scenes, and events with one another, while leaving the plot intact.  This is not your father's Hamlet, but a post-modern, remixed version.

Please note, hiSTORYstage's production of The Marowitz Hamlet includes special lighting effects.  If you have epilepsy, or other health problems which may be affected by stroboscopic (strobe) lighting, you should not attend.
