I Hate Hamlet – A Comedy by by Paul Rudnick

A Comedy by by Paul Rudnick

Directed by Lisa Malloy

Andrew Rally has it all – celebrity; 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. 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. From the moment Barrymore returns, dressed in high Shakespearean garb, Andrew’s life is no longer his own. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and his role as Hamlet in Central Park.
