BOUND IN A NUTSHELL

Bound in a Nutshell is a 90-minute adaptation of Hamlet — every word of which is Shakespeare’s own — set in a modern-day prison, complete with security cameras, prison guards and torture chambers. From this vantage point, the play depicts Hamlet’s incarceration and trial for murder of Polonius and Ophelia’s testimony against him. While a prosecutor builds a case of circumstantial evidence, security cameras watch Hamlet’s every move as he plots revenge against his father’s assassins.
