About This Show
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.
