San Francisco Shakespeare Festival: Hamlet

Saturday, October 24

2 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.

The San Francisco Shakespeare Festival presents Hamlet!

This ghostly tale of a prince whose royal family is disrupted by political events is considered to be one of Shakespeare's finest commentaries on morality and the human condition. Those who are new to Shakespeare often find this murder mystery to be one of his most satisfying plays. Audiences are delighted to find they recognize many phrases from the witty speeches and probing dialogues.

This one hour version of Hamlet is a great introduction to Shakespeare's work. A question and answer session with the actors will follow the production.

Light refreshments will be served.
