sweet prince

The murderous uncle? The beguiled queen? A hired friend? Who will you choose?

sweet prince is an interactive, one-woman Hamlet that invites you to step in as the missing characters. Ready to be?

This production uses a pared-down version of Shakespeare's script to investigate depression, what it means to be “mad,” and grief. At the same time, it joyfully invites members of the audience to participate as the missing characters.

In Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet recruits actors to help him prove his uncle is guilty. Can this Hamlet recruit members of the audience to help her successfully tell this version of the story? Will they act when called upon? Perhaps they’ll even experience a transformation, a spark of new courage, a curiosity to be.

This production and Junkyard Shakespeare’s tour are supported by the generous Culture Lab LIC, our co-producer!
