Reduced Shakespeare Company
Hamlet’s Big Adventure (a prequel)
What will young Hamlet grow up To Be? That is the question!
A fast, funny, and physical extravaganza filled with ghosts, wee Scots, singing nuns, and a mysterious vassal in the castle, Hamlet and Ophelia navigate their parents and their own feelings while putting on a show—what could possibly go wrong?
“They are smart, cheeky clowns!” The New York Times
“Hilarious! A love letter to one of Shakespeare’s most challenging and complicated plays.” —Napa Valley Register

Mature Language: In the spirit of Shakespeare himself, RSC shows contain some occasional bawdy language and mild innuendo, so we’ve chosen to rate our shows PG-13: Pretty Good if You’re Thirteen.
