I Hate Hamlet

May 10, 2017

Television or theatre? That is the dilemma facing young and successful television star Andrew Rally. After a cancelled TV series, Andrew wins the coveted role of Hamlet in New York. His real estate agent offers to rent him the apartment where the famous John Barrymore once lived and the fun begins. A séance resurrects Barrymore to mentor Andrew and offer him his expertise in playing the role. The acting challenge is enormous, but so is the money offered to star in a new TV series. His very chaste girlfriend and Barrymore, who will not leave, make the decision more complex and comedic.

Originally a book written by Paul Rudnick, I Hate Hamlet is now being taken to the theatre being directed by Rachel Cliffe, a veteran director at the Guild Theatre. Set in New York City we witness the great Shakespearean actor’s paranormal intervention in Andrew’s (the main character’s) decision.

The venue of the play is in the lovely Rockdale theatre, The Guild Theatre. The Guild Theatre have put on such shows as Exit Laughing and The Book Of Everything.
