Barbecuing Hamlet

Wouldn’t it be great fun to direct William Shakespeare’s Hamlet? That’s what Margo Daley always thought… until she was hired to do just that by the Peaceful Glen Memorial Players in their theater, a renovated funeral home. They DO have a couple of conditions, however. Margo has to make the play a melodrama, so the audience knows when to throw the popcorn. And they can’t be too loud because the lady who lives under the theater bangs her cane on the stage. Oh, and Margo has to insert the sponsors’ names into the play and, by the way, it has to take place in the Old West.

Pat Cook’s Barbecuing Hamlet is appropriate for all ages.

Sunday performances are scheduled for March 11 and 18 only.
