written by William Shakespeare
directed by Phil Gallagher

July 17 - Aug 9, 2009

A tale of power, betrayal, lust, and --- family.

A timeless tale of mourning and existential rumination gets a visceral re-treatment. Sex and violence, the spine-chilling supernatural, revenge and madness - all the elements of a cracking night's entertainment! Oh, and it's Shakespeare!

The play deals with overwhelming grief and seething rage. It explores themes of treachery, revenge, madness and moral corruption with a sense of humor and adventure as well as tragedy!
