Patrick Alparone as Hamlet, Cole Smith as Claudius and Melissa Hillman as Gertrude |
hamlet (ophelia)By William Shakespeare Directed by Melissa Hillman Impact Theatre La Val's Subterranean, Berkeley, California with Patrick Alparone, Cole Smith, Melissa Hillman, John Ferreira, Alex Klein and Christopher Chen "Points to Impact for attempting one of Shakespeare's longest and most challenging works in a compact and contemporary form...
There's real tenderness between Laertes and Ophelia...Patrick Alparone (Hamlet) seethes and maintains his focus admirably… this is a more successful Hamlet than you might expect for the basement of a pizza parlor." |
