Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
by William Shakespeare
adapted for performance by Niclas Olson


A messenger from beyond arrives with a chilling message for the Prince of Denmark. He must kill the king, revenge his father, and claim the throne for his own. Under a watchful public eye, surrounded by backstabbing friends and surprising allies, Hamlet seeks to fulfill his mission, but at what cost? Adapted for performance by Niclas Olson, this version of William Shakespeare's play is intimate, fast-paced, and accessible to a modern audience. (5M, 4W)

HAMLET, PRINCE OF DENMARK had its world premiere on January 11, 2019 at the Dukesbay Theater in Tacoma, in a production by New Muses Theatre Company. It was directed and designed by Niclas Olson. Costumes and sound were by Bethany Bevier. The board operator was Erinne Kellogg.
