Event

The Supreme Court Hears the Trial of Hamlet
*** For venue maps, parking info and updated information, please visit www.shakespearecenter.org ***


Join United States Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy as he presides over The Trial of Hamlet where the Court will determine, once and for all, whether Hamlet was mentally competent at the time he murdered Polonius.

Beverly Hills Bar Association Members Richard G. Hirsch and Blair Berk will offer arguments in Hamlet's defense, and Los Angeles County Bar Association Members Danette Meyers and Nathan J. Hochman will argue for the prosecution.

Psychiatrists Dr. Saul Faerstein and Dr. Ronald Markman will appear as expert witnesses for the defense and prosecution, respectively.

SCLA favorite Graham Hamilton will portray Hamlet.

A jury of 12 community members, including high school and college students, philanthropists, actors and Los Angeles dignitaries will decide whether Hamlet will stand trial for murder or be discharged based on mental instability.

Once the arguments have concluded, the Justice will excuse the Jury. Though their deliberations will be held off-stage, the audience will see, via closed-circuit feed, the first 20 minutes of deliberations.

The Trial of Hamlet is presented by The Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles as a part of its 25th Anniversary Season, and is graciously hosted by The University of Southern California Gould School of Law.

The event is co-sponsored by:
The Beverly Hills Bar Association
The Los Angeles County Bar Associations
Visions and Voices: The USC Arts and Humanities Initiative

Q&A

Question: Is the whole thing on TV or just the jury? this is confusing . Thanks nancy Kollisch
Answer: The "Trial" will be live, on stage (i.e. Justice Kennedy, the defendant and the lawyers will be on stage, live. The jury will be on stage listening to the arguments. It's only the Jury deliberations that will be on close circuit TV for the audience. Hope that helps!
 
Question: What are the differnt perks from am VIP ticket to a cheap seat?
Answer: Proximity to the stage.
 
Question: Hi Regina, I can't seem to get two VIP tickets together. Are they all sold out? I need at least 2, but would prefer 4. what is the next best option if the VIP tix are sold out?
Answer: At this point, there are only two single* seats left in the VIP section (*i.e. two seats not next to each other). I actually just got back from a walk-through of the venue, and all remaining orchestra seats are all fantastic. It's a lovely venue that, despite its capacity, feels very intimate. .
 
Question: I DON'T SEE ANY $100 TICKETS...ARE THEY NO LONGER AVAILABLE?
Answer: We have sold out of tickets in the $100 price range.
 
Question: Where are the $30 seats located in the venue?
Answer: $30 dollar tickets are located in the 1st Balcony, which is on the second floor of the venue.
 
Question: I am trying to by 2 tickets for the 31st and the website is not working. Can you give me a call so I can give you my cc number to purchase please? I am friends with Anika Jackson who is on the board. Thanks Rachel Collins 310-569-7310 rlcsanfran@yahoo.com
