Department of Theatre and Dance presents I Hate Hamlet

I Hate Hamlet, by Paul Rudnick, Directed by Brian LeTraunik Andrew Rally seems to have it all: celebrity and acclaim from his starring role in a hit television series; a rich, beautiful girlfriend; a glamorous, devoted agent; the perfect New York apartment; and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park. There are, however, a couple of glitches in paradise. Andrew's series has been canceled; his girlfriend is clinging to her virginity with unyielding conviction; and he has no desire to play Hamlet. When Andrew's agent visits him, she reminisces about her brief romance with John Barrymore many years ago, in Andrew's apartment. This prompts a seance to summon his ghost. Barrymore, fortified by champagne and ego, presses Andrew to accept the part and fulfill his actor's destiny. Production contains mature content and themes.
