THROUGH 4/9: Big Dawg's Women Playing Hamlet Is a Poignant, Satirical Look into Shakespeare's Greatest Work
Theatre Review by C.C. Lilford, April 7, 2023

( Thu., Mar. 30, 2023 - Sun., Apr. 9, 2023 )

Ruth & Bucky Stein Theatre at Thalian Hall, 310 Chestnut Street, Wilmington, NC 28401

Program

Women Playing Hamlet, a modern comedy about an old tragedy. Hamlet is a challenge for any actor, but when Jessica is cast as the titular character, it sends her into an existential tailspin. How can Jessica figure out "to be or not to be," when she can't even figure out herself? Featuring an all-female cast performing multiple roles, Women Playing Hamlet is rip-roaring fun for Shakespeare fans and haters alike.
