Theatre Arts Program To Perform `Hamlet II
The Rutgers-Newark/NJIT Theatre Arts Program will perform a comedy and parody of Hamlet, in the Bradley Hall Theatre on the Rutgers-Newark campus, Oct. 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27, 7 p.m.; and Oct. 21 and 28, 2:30 p.m.
“ `Hamlet II,’ ” a new comedy by Sam Bobrick based on the original story by William Shakespeare, is directed by Dan Drew and Michele Rittenhouse.
“`Hamlet II’ ” is a mad, zany parody of the original with a much happier ending. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern come off like Groucho Marx, Ophelia is a loose woman and alas, poor Yorick is turned into a crazy comic. Then there's Gertrude, Claudius, Laertes and the old dead King as never seen before. And what does Prince Hamlet think of this new approach to his life? He loves it and why not? To catch the conscience of the king, he gets to write a hit musical. Also included are the loves, hates, sword fights, poetry, religion, treachery and deceit that go with the territory, as well as occasional stabs at the meaning of life,” according to Samuel French, Inc., is a big publisher of plays.
Admission is $5 for students and senior citizens and general
admission is $7.
