The Marowitz Hamlet presented by hiSTORYstage

Charles Marowitz, an acclaimed stage director, theatre critic, columnist, author, and playwright, has deconstructed Hamlet, breaking it into pieces and remixing it for the postmodern age. A thoroughly modern take on the plot of Hamlet which uses Shakespeare's original words as the action plays out as seen through the prism of the central character's mentally besieged consciousness.
This 'collage' as Marowitz terms it, unfolds in a steam of consciousness fashion, as characters appear and disappear… Show more from the stage at random as Hamlet conjures up his memories and imaginings of them. This new version severely shortens the play from the original four hours, but leaves the plot complete.
