"The time is out of joint….”

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Lindsay Smiling

July 9 to August 3 | Main Stage

Grief twists the mind and conjures ghosts—but when the spirit of Hamlet’s father appears, he speaks not of madness, but of murder. In the shadowed halls of Elsinore, Hamlet grapples with a haunting revelation: his mother has married his uncle, and his father’s death was no accident. As he pulls at the tangled threads of his broken family, a web of deceit and betrayal unravels, leading him into a storm of moral conflict. What follows is a relentless struggle between revenge and redemption, as Hamlet’s pursuit of truth threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.

Shakespeare’s masterpiece delves into the depths of human thought, revealing the darkness that lies beneath loyalty, love, and justice. Experience the pulse-pounding tension and psychological intrigue that have made this play endure for centuries.
