Yorick, Jester of Denmark by Timothy Griffin - Staged Reading

A staged reading of The Historically Comical Tragedy of Yorick, Jester of Denmark

A play by Timothy Griffin

Tuesday, February 11th at 7:30 PM

City Lit Theatre, 1020 W Bryn Mawr Ave, Chicago, IL.

Twenty-three years before the events of Shakespeare's Hamlet, Yorick, a brilliant young jester, infiltrates Elsinore on a quest for revenge against Denmark’s Lord Chamberlain (and deadly spymaster), Polonius. Full of comedy, sword fights, romance, juggling, heartache, horror, and an array of Shakespearean touchstones turned slightly askew, this love letter to the Bard is akin to such Shakespeare-adjacent plays as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and The Book of Will.
