American Globe Theatre's 2011/2012 Season

HAMLET

We launch our 23rd year as Times Square's longest-running classical theatre, with William Shakespeare's HAMLET. In Denmark,a king is dead. His brother Claudius, has snatched the throne and the widowed queen. Life goes on - for everyone but Hamlet. The prince, fixated on his uncle as the murderer, is charged by his father's ghost to avenge the wrong. Disconnected from the foul world around him, Hamlet strains under the weight of his task. This is American Globe's first production in a decade of Shakespeare’s disturbing and psychologically rich masterpiece which digs into the enigma of a man’s mind.

Directed by Artistic Director, John Basil

OPHELIA'S MOTHER

by Jean Pickering and Suzanne Kehde

This modern twist on HAMLET is a wicked, incestuous revelation of a behind-the-scenes story of what the Bard left out of his play.
