'I Hate Hamlet' at Somerset Valley Players

Do you hate Shakespeare? Of course not! But if you love madcap comedy set around the Bard, Somerset Valley Players has the show for you.

Somerset Valley Players will perform Paul Rudnick's "I Hate Hamlet" from Sept. 12-28, with shows starting at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets cost $20 for adults and $18 for seniors and students.

This modern madcap comedy of Shakespeare and spirits shines the spotlight on up-and-coming television performer Andrew Rally as he assumes the stage role of Hamlet, at the prompting of the ghost of the late actor John Barrymore. Rally is forced to choose between the theatrical dignity of Shakespeare, and a potentially lucrative part in a new TV series as partner to a puppet chipmunk and hackneyed superhero.

The show will be directed by Kate Murray, stage managed by Shawna Lagan, and produced by Daniel Schulze.

Somerset Valley Players is located at 689 Amwell Road, Hillsborough.
