Hamlet Double-header at the Acrosstown brings both tragedy and comedy to the stage
The Acrosstown Repertory Theatre closes its 2011-2012 season this May with a pair of Hamlet-based one acts: A shortened version of Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, paired with a modern comedic adaptation called “The Prince Formerly Known as Hamlet: A Justin Thyme Mystery” by Bruce Kane, which follows Thyme—a Bogart-like, tongue-in-cheek fictional detective—as he attempts to solve a hilarious whodunnit….with zombies.
