Production of Hamlet Honors Author's Intent
February 4, 2010—With a "back to basics" approach focusing on the words, acting and the story, The Cromulent Shakespeare Company opens Shakespeare's Hamlet, March 12 at The People's Center Theatre, 20th and Riverside Avenue, Minneapolis.
Hamlet is considered by many to be the most powerful and influential tragedy in the English language, exploring themes of treachery, revenge, incest and moral corruption. Such familiar lines as, "To be or not to be: that is the question," "to thine own self be true" and "alas, poor Yorick," have immortalized this among Shakespeare's works.
Tim Jopek, an original founder of The Cromulent Shakespeare Company, will direct Hamlet. "This production's technical simplicity requires the skill of the actors to make sense of the work," says Jopek. "The overall goal is to give our modern audience an experience similar to what those of 400 years ago might have had when encountering the play for the first time."
The cast includes: Byron Adams, John Adler, Justin Alexander, Heidi Arenson, Kevin Carnahan, Erin Denman, Phil Henry, Matt Kraft, David Mcmenomy, Scot Moore, Anna Olson, Mike Rubke and Mickaylee Shaughnessy.
