Hamlet, Prince of Cuba

HAMLET, PRINCE OF CUBA

By William Shakespeare, Adapted by Michael Donald Edwards

Spanish Translation by Nilo Cruz

Hamlet’s intense struggle to understand the meaning in human life has captivated playgoers for more than 400 years. Now, Sarasota audiences will be the first to see a distinctively Cuban Hamlet, which reveals new perspectives on the classic work, while staying true to the essence of Shakespeare’s original story. With performances in both Spanish and English*, this new adaptation is a fresh and stunning portrayal of a son’s struggle to pursue justice for his father, and the consequences that threaten to destroy the lives of those he loves.

*Most performances will be in English; three select dates will be in Spanish with English supertitles. (Moderate violence)
