Fortinbras
By Lee Blessing
October 4 - October 7
Described by playwright Lee Blessing as a "metaphysical farce," this comedy picks up where Shakespeare’s Hamlet left off. Fortinbras, a character so minor in Shakespeare’s tragedy that he is often eliminated in many performances, arrives to find the entire Danish royal family dead (they become very interesting ghosts) and himself as the new ruler of Denmark. One of Time’s Ten Best Plays for 1991, Fortinbras is relevant to today’s political climate, cleverly posing questions about authority and leadership.
