(ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ) -- Monmouth Players presents Paul Rudnick's I Hate Hamlet on Friday and Saturdays from April 15 to April 29. The play follows successful television actor Andrew Rally as he struggles with taking on the dream role of Hamlet, dealing with a girlfriend who is keeping a firm grip on her chastity, and playing host to the ghost of John Barrymore, who, clothed as Hamlet, has come back to earth for the sole purpose of convincing Rally to play the part.
After a séance and sword fight with the ghost, Andrew finally decides to play Hamlet. But when a Hollywood friend shows up offering Andrew a new role in a television pilot, with a potentially large salary and fame, Andrew is forced to choose between Shakespeare or television.
Performances will take place on April 14, 21, 27 and 28, 2018 at 8:15pm and April 15, 22 and 29, 2018 at 2:00pm. Tickets are $20 for general admission; $17 for seniors/students; and $10 for active/retired military. Tickets may be purchased online here.
Produced by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
