Hamlet at CFTC's Studio Theater

Join us in our intimate studio theater to experience this electrifying and iconic tale, widely known as the world's greatest play Changing Faces Theater Company Presents William Shakespeare's HAMLET Directed by Mike Bartram & Sabrina Willis-Bartram The setting is a surveillance state in the maybe-not-so-distant future. The world has been ravaged by war and plagued by illness. In these troubling times, humanity searches for a return to order. Denmark has a new king, set on restoring tradition and imbuing loyalty; however, the circumstances of his rise to power remain... questionable. Hamlet, the prince of Denmark and nephew to King Claudius, is a nonconformist set on seeking the truth, which ultimately becomes a self-destructive obsession. As Hamlet unravels, so do the systems that protect the crown. One man’s desire for power versus another man’s desire for revenge result in bloody consequences for all.
