About This Show

The Hamlet Plays are a collection of six ten-minute plays, written by Milk Can’s Artistic Associates. Each play is based on a different character from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. From a modern musical about a therapy group for actors who have played the title role, to a sexy Elizabethan prequel to Hamlet, these smart ten-minute plays are sure to surprise and delight.

Playwrights and work include: The Match, by Sharon E. Cooper (based on the character Laertes); The Lamp’s LIt, by Cheryl Davis (based on the character Gertrude); Baloney, by ML Kinney (based on the characters The Gravediggers); Maybe He’s Just Not That Into You, by Bethany Larsen (based on the character Ophelia); Decisive, music by Nick Moore, book & lyrics by Susannah Pearce (based on the character Hamlet); and The Player King Musical, music by Bill Tonsley, book & lyrics by Anne Phelan (based on the character The Player King).
