FRIGID New York

Are Shakespeare and Telenovelas a match made in heaven? THAT is the question!

Under St Marks Theater

Hamlet couldn't possibly get more dramatic... or could it?Hamlet couldn't possibly be funny... or could it?Are Shakespeare and Telenovelas a match made in heaven? THAT is the question!With Hamlet: La Telenovela, audiences will experience Hamlet like never before—through an adaptation that heightens the story’s innate melodrama and explores it through a farcical, comedic lens. We invite the public to open their arms to the cathartic, guilty pleasure that only telenovelas (soap operas) can provide.Hamlet: La Telenovela is a Hispanic parody of the classic, performed entirely in Spanish with English subtitles. While the dialogue is a direct translation of Shakespeare’s original text, the adaptation is performed in the style of Latin American telenovelas.“A fast-moving, tremendously funny adaptation that ranks among our favorite experiences ofShakespeare’s celebrated tragedy.” John Ziegler and Leah Richards, Thinking Theater NYC—This production is a part of Frigid NY’s <a href="https://frigid.nyc/little-shakespeare/" title="https://frigid.nyc/little-shakespeare/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Little Shakespeare Festival</a>.
