In this delightful comedy/drama, a modern-day playwright and feminist mysteriously enters the world of Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” in an effort to right the wrongs suffered by the character Ophelia. Ophelia becomes the architect of her own fate as she learns to stand up to those who would control her, including friends and foes of both the classic and modern varieties. A play for those who love Shakespeare (or not!), for those who know Shakespeare (or most definitely not!), and for everyone who wants to enjoy a fun romp at the theatre!
