About this Event
In the late 16th century, William Shakespeare wrote Hamlet, and in 1603, the earliest known text of the tragedy was printed in form of a quarto but went undiscovered for over 200 years. Over the past century, it has been dissected and debated. Character names are different. Dialogue is different. The exact "whos" and "whys" have largely remained a mystery with several theories floating around scholarly circles. Often dismissed as "the bad quarto," one aspect is undeniable. It is more action-driven than any other version of the text.
In this rare staging of "the bad quarto," director Jeremy Seghers would like to challenge that label, and in doing so, he welcomes audiences to see one of the most popular and influential plays in the English language in a new light.
