Gary Busey’s One-Man Hamlet (As performed by David Carl)

Gary Busey’s One-Man Hamlet (as performed by David Carl) is an absurdist romp through Shakespeare, pop culture, and life in the theatre.

Gary Busey’s One-Man Hamlet (as performed by David Carl) is a multi-media puppet show directed by Michole Biancosino (AD of the award-winning Project Y Theatre Company), created by Gary Busey (as imagined by David Carl), who has decided he will perform all the parts in Shakespeare’s Hamlet in order to prove that he still has “the chops.” Switching between beat poet narrator, puppeteer, musical theatre singer, horror film director, and “great” actor, Gary Busey (as imagined by David Carl) plays each scene in the style he feels appropriate. A mix of high- and low-brow comedy, Gary Busey’s One-Man Hamlet (as performed by David Carl), celebrates Shakespeare’s play by proving it is still relevant, applicable, and moving in the jaded, celebrity-crazy, meme-obsessed world we (and David Carl) live in.
