I Hate Hamlet

Sylvia Beard Theatre
2200 Buford Highway Buford , GA 30518

In the stage comedy I Hate Hamlet, successful Hollywood television actor Andrew Rally decides to switch gears and move to New York, where he rents a vintage downtown apartment and sets out to find new work. His TV career on hold, he's offered the chance to portray Hamlet on Broadway, but there's just one problem. He hates Hamlet. Staring down a professional and existential crisis, he's visited by the ghost of legendary actor John Barrymore, whose screen performance as Hamlet is among the best ever. Barrymore arrives three sheets to the wind, in full costume attire and ready to school naive Andrew, who now occupies Barrymore's old apartment. The dueling actors hilariously debate art, success, Shakespeare and, of course, the apartment itself. See this unique and wonderful take on the Bard at the Sylvia Beard Theatre in Buford.
