60 - 65 minutes

Set: Minimal.

A saucy pair of elderly narrators guides the audience through Shakespeare's most famous tragedy...with a few dance breaks to lighten the mood, of course. This fast-paced spoof demystifies Hamlet for younger audiences while remaining faithful to the Bard's tragic plot twists. Well. Mostly. There may also be a couple of secret agents and a love doctor named Miami Moo Moo sprinkled in. A fun and clever introduction to literature's most indecisive Dane.
