Hamlet Performed by The Will Kempe Players

$25 Adults/$10 Students Ages 21 and Under/Ages 5 and Under Free
Why Hamlet in 2019?
What do you do when you realize everything you know may be wrong? What do you do when loved ones betray you? What can a citizen do when the government systematically covers up wrong-doing? Where can one go to reliably determine truth? These are not only Prince Hamlet’s dilemmas in the 17th century; they are ours in the 21st. How do we find our way out of the ancient (and contemporary) cycles of revenge and annihilation?
About Will Kempe’s Players Cooperative
Now in its third season, Will Kempe’s Players Cooperative stages Shakespeare’s plays in a manner that echoes the stagecraft of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. As such, WKP productions tour exclusively, playing everywhere from traditional theaters and outdoor stages to park groves and other “found” spaces. The performers share common space and lighting with the audience, using evocative text, props and scenery to engage the audience directly. WKP productions feature rich costumes, expert swordplay, music, dance, and clear story-telling.

Considered one of Brian Friel’s greatest works, Faith Healer is a haunting drama told through a series of monologues. Confusing memories of events past are recounted by itinerant faith healer Frank Hardy, his wife Grace, and his manager Teddy. It is a story filled with contradictions, and the audience must decide who is telling the truth and what really happened in the end. The Little Terrible Theatre of Cork comes to Hubbard Hall all the way from County Cork, Ireland, for this co-production of a classic play about life and the struggle to live it. Two weekends only! The Little Terrible Theatre of Cork is a small, independent theatre company based in West Cork, Ireland. The group’s members have been involved in productions throughout the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, most recently winning several acting and directing awards during the 2018 All Ireland Drama Festivals. Performing a range of plays from classics of the Irish and English theatre to avant-garde works by newly emerging playwrights, the group strives to provide an eclectic and entertaining experience for its audiences.
