Spirit of the Dane

Writer, director, actor, and musician Tony Cronin’s new play Spirit of the Dane is a hysterical look at the character Hamlet if he were around today and could talk directly to modern audiences about the burdens of worldwide fame, the traumas of his fictional life, and the thousands of lines Shakespeare wrote for other characters that Hamlet craves! His obsessions with the “Tomorrow and tomorrow,” speech from the Scottish Play brings Lady MacBeth to the stage, and the two great characters commiserate on their lot as misunderstood – and all too often horribly portrayed – characters. If you liked Shakespeare in school, you’ll love this play. If you hated Shakespeare in school, you’ll love this play!
