What is that thing rotting in the State of Denmark? The Theatre Cooperative takes on what is arguably the greatest play ever written in its second annual “Shakespeare-in-the-Raw” production.
Fratricide, regicide, incest, lust, betrayal, unrequited love, mistaken identity, clumsy murder, poisonous unctions, and an insistent ghost — no wonder Hamlet goes a little looney!
The Coop’s production focuses on Hamlet’s supposed or actual lunacy, the betrayal that surrounds him at every turn, and the rotting of a kingdom that mirrors the breakdown happening within the mind and soul of Hamlet himself.
The Coop’s annual Shakespeare-in-the-Raw productions present the Bard in his essence, unfettered and free to focus on the richness of his language and the timelessness of his story.
