Tragedy puts an antic disposition on when the Commedia servant Arlecchino is cast in the lead role of Hamlet. This energetic and tragi-comic interpretation of the Bard's most famous play matches Shakespeare's poignant philosophy with Commedia's surprising physical comedy.
Joining Shakespeare's original language with Faction of Fools' inventive style, Hamlecchino is sure to be a Hamlet like no other and will premiere at Gallaudet in April of 2012.
The play will feature Artistic Director Matthew R. Wilson* in the title role as well as Scenic Design by Gallaudet Theatre Arts Chair Ethan Sinnott.
