Hamlet

by William Shakespeare

directed by Fred Sullivan, Jr.

Shakespeare’s greatest and most famous tragedy about the melancholy prince Hamlet of Denmark, caught in a quandary about whether to seek revenge against his father’s presumed murderer—the man who now sits on the throne and shares his mother’s bed! The Gamm revisits and reinvigorates its critically acclaimed 1997 production, reuniting Resident Director Fred Sullivan, Jr. with Artistic Director Tony Estrella in the title role and Sam Babbitt as Polonius for another “unforgettable” Hamlet.

A smashing success...An intense, heartfelt night of theater...Once again putting Rhode Island on notice that the Gamm is the place to see Shakespeare. Providence Journal
