When SHAKESPEARE & COMPANY staged their stunning new production of
Hamlet in 2006, The New York Times praised the "invaluable and indefatigable"
28 year old company for "...speak[ing] the speech so clearly and
comprehendingly that even theater goers new to Shakespeare grasp the plot
and characters."
Now, America's foremost center for Shakespeare performance and studies
will offer Hamlet as their first national tour in the fall of 2008, bringing
a "pared-down, revved-up version" of Shakespeare's uncontested
masterpiece to audiences across the country.
A bus will leave Skidmore at approximately 5:00pm on Friday, September 12th, 2008 and will return to Skidmore at approximately 11:00pm.
