HAMLET & OPHELIA

From the play by William Shakespeare
Directed by Prof. Camille Hallstrom
Adapted and performed by Anya Klumpenhower '24

Hamlet’s father is dead. Hamlet is not okay. This one woman show was put together in a way that blatantly ignores the plot. Instead it highlights the carelessness and consequences of Hamlet’s actions. The monologues in this show alternate between Hamlet and a friend, a family member, and a lover, desperately calling out for him to pay attention to the effects before it’s too late.
