August 23 -27 Shakespeare in the Park - Hamlet

William Shakespeare’s famous work “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark” is a tragedy set across five acts written around the year 1600. More than just a revenge play, “Hamlet” deals with questions about life and existence, sanity, love, death, and betrayal. It is one of the most quoted works of literature in the world, and since 1960 it has been translated into 75 languages (including Klingon).
