William Shakespeare. You may have heard of him.
His plays have been performed for over 400 years but there's always something unique to look forward to. And his most famous revenge tragedy is now being re-examined and reconstructed on stage as a cosmic crime thriller, taking an existential deep dive toward enlightenment.
