- I Hate Hamlet by Paul Rudnick
- Time: 7:30 PM
- Location: Horrabin Theatre
- Description: Directed by Jeannie Woods
Andrew Rally appears to have it all: celebrity and acclaim from his TV series L.A. Medical; Deirdra, his rich, beautiful girlfriend; Felicia Dantine, his glamorous real estate agent; the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park; and a perfect New York apartment. Oh, and his apartment is haunted by the ghost of John Barrymore, a former tenant. Regarded as perhaps the best actor to ever portray the
Prince of Denmark, Barrymore pushes Andrew to play the part—after ego and some champagne fortifies the late, great actor. Gary, a cocky producer from the West Coast, offers Andrew a new TV series for millions of dollars, but Andrew does not jump at it. As Andrew wrestles with his conscience, the laughs are nonstop in this farce! - Contact Information:
