HAMLET
October 9th - November 23rd, 2013

Betrayed by family, lovers, and friends, Hamlet's quest for truth and vengeance takes him and the audience, deeper into danger and the labyrinth of his own mind. Prepare to be thrilled by the legendary speeches and unstoppable force of Shakespeare's masterpiece in Quintessence's full throttle, two hour, condensed revenge tragedy.
