William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”
Marquette Regional History Center 145 W. Spring Street, Marquette, Michigan 49855
The Marquette Regional History Center and Upper Peninsula Shakespeare Festival present a collaborative fundraiser:
“The Play’s the Thing” to quote Shakespeare! Encompassing political intrigue and sexual obsession, philosophical reflection and violent action, tragic depth and wild humor, Hamlet is Shakespeare’s ‘poem unlimited’, a colossus in the story of the English language and the fullest expression of his genius.
Set to be a collaborative fundraiser for both the Marquette Regional History Center and Upper Peninsula Shakespeare Festival, Hamlet will take place thrust-style in the rotunda of the History Center with audiences on risers, or looking down upon the action in true Globe Theatre fashion.
This production will not only feature beloved local professionals, but also classically trained actors brought into the U.P. from around the country to perform in the Bard’s arguably most esteemed play.
August 4, 5, 10, 11 & 12 at 7: 30 pm in the Marquette Regional History Center. Sponsored by Enbridge, Perry M. Truscon and TV6/Fox UP.
