HAMLET. A VERSION by Boris Akunin
This world premiere by the celebrated Georgian-born writer and dissident of Putin's Russia, internationally famous for the cycle of fictional detective novels THE ADVENTURES OF ERAST FANDORIN, re-engineers Shakespeare's classic tragedy in an ingeniously innovative vein.

Set in a crumbling hierarchical empire, Hamlet. A Version shifts the usual focus from the iconic philosophical title character to the intrigue, opportunism, and political scheming of a burgeoning police state. This starkly realized new world order, insidiously ushered in by murderous and destabilizing tactics, provides a whole new meaning to the phrase "something is rotten in the state of Denmark."

From a curiously flat-footed Hamlet and a self-aggrandizing Polonius the First, to the questionable death of the old king and a torrid affair between Gertrude and Claudius, Boris Akunin's HAMLET. A VERSION provides a radically prescient perspective on a contemporary political issue: how to eradicate the old to make way for the new. And who gets caught in the crossfire?

Starring Claire Brownell*, Joy Hermalyn*, Matt Weiss*, Khris Lewin*, Alan I. Ross*, Michael Sweeney Hammond*, Owen Scott*, Michael Propster* and James Phillip Gates.
