Hamlet
July 29, 2023 @ 3:00 pm
Elmwood’s Public Domain Players Presents Shakespeare’s Masterpiece, Hamlet.
On July 29, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. on ZOOM
This famous play is being shortened by using much (but not all) of the text from the First Quarto of Hamlet, first published in 1603, rather than a combination of the Second Quarto and the First Folio, published in 1623, which is the version that is conventionally used (and is four hours long, if uncut). The First Quarto, as well as shortening the text, also introduces new connections between the characters, such as Gertrude and Hamlet working together against Claudius. So even if you think you know Hamlet, tune in for this version that will help you see the play through a new lens.
