Hamlet (Shakespeare in the Park(ing) Lot)

Olivier played him, Mel Gibson gave him a turn, now Hamilton Clancey of the Drilling Company takes on the role of the melancholy Dane in Shakespeare in the Park(ing) Lot´s production of Hamlet. There is nothing better than an Elizabethan revenge tragedy in a parking lot. A king foully murdered, a widow swiftly remarried, and a prince struggling with the grief of his father’s death. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, and it is not the refuse in the parking lot. No, it is a festering ugliness. The sort of ugliness that can only be born out of deceit, pretense, and murder. Amidst the glamour, fickle folly, and beauty of the new regime, Hamlet strikes a stark figure of dissent–wallowing in the underbelly of Elsinore and haunted by apparitions.
