The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them?”

-Hamlet Act III sc 1

Revenge. Grief. Ghosts. Madness. Political violence. The personal and political collide in this queer, feminist reimagining of Shakespeare’s famous tragedy. When Hamlet is called home from college with news of her father’s sudden death, an unexpected encounter makes it clear she must avenge the death of her father. But what is the cost of bearing the weight of such a responsibility?
