Short Shakespeare! Hamlet

Short Shakespeare! Hamlet

JAN 31–FEB 28

Reeling from grief, the young Prince of Denmark navigates the loss of his father, his mother’s betrayal, and relationships torn apart. Starring Chicago favorite Jaylon Muchison in the title role and featuring a talented ensemble of seven actors, the production poses the big questions: What is right? What is wrong? To be… or not to be?

This original and accessible adaptation directed by CST Artistic Director Edward Hall brings new clarity to the timeless classic, offering a chance for audiences to see themselves reflected through the 400-year-old story. Plus, every performance includes a post-show conversation with the cast to give you an insider’s perspective into bringing the story to the stage!
