Ghosts and sword fights and madness and storytellers talking back to the audience. These and so much more are in this 55-minute adaptation of Shakespeare’s HAMLET, performed by 6th and 7th graders from Makr Twain Middle School. Hamlet is barely home from college to attend his father’s funeral, when he’s slammed with the fact that his mother has already married Hamlet’s uncle! Hamlet smells a rat and the ghost of his father appearing to him seals the deal. He promises to avenge his father’s death. You don’t have to know Shakespeare to be enamored of this rendition of it!
