Written by Jean Battlo
| A sophisticated New York director with a successful Off-Broadway season
under her belt travels to West Virginia to direct Hamlet under the auspices
of a grant for 'under-served regions'. Gathering in Hattie's restaurant,
this group perpetrates a harrowing production of Shakespeare. Amazing
costumes and merru mishaps ladle hilarity on top of sincere attempts to
tailor Hamlet to this remarkable cast. The play is the thing, and the
result is a fractured, quixotic production that provides a fine example
of realizing the impossible dream. |
