Production

Save Hamlet! is a hilarious parody of the Bard's greatest play, full of laughs, tongue in cheek humor, and physical comedy. When Horatio, Bernardo, and Marcellus are all women in disguise - and when they discover each other's secret identity, they realize they must team up and step in, or the whole thing will end in tragedy! Armed with snark, self-referential humor, and a load of fake swords, they team up to subvert the inevitable and maybe get folks to lighten up a little in the state of Denmark.
