The Wooster Group presents HAMLET

“The Wooster Group’s HAMLET, directed by Elizabeth LeCompte, reconstructs a hypothetical theater piece from the fragmentary evidence of Richard Burton’s “Hamlet”, a 1964 Broadway production which was recorded in performance and shown as a film for two days only in 2,000 U.S. movie houses. The idea of bringing a live theater experience to thousands of simultaneous viewers in different cities was trumpeted as a new form called “Theatrofilm”. This HAMLET attempts to reverse the process, like an archeologist inferring an improbable temple from a collection of ruins.”

Previews start tonight and the show will run for four weeks only, from Feb 27 - March 25, 2007 (Tues - Sat @ 8pm, Sun @ 4pm). At St. Ann’s Warehouse *38 Water St. in DUMBO). Tickets for Tues Feb. 27 - Sun March 4 only: $27.50. All other tickets: $37.50.
