Hamlet

ArtsEd’s acting students stage Hamlet, in which a prince’s attempt to avenge his father’s murder brings devastation to the Danish court.

Fred Wienand directs this production based on Shakespeare’s play. Hamlet responds to the revelation that his uncle Claudius killed his father, married his mother and took the throne, while Claudius develops a counterplot. The current production lists three performers for Hamlet without assigning them to specific performances. Current published cast: Paddy Brennan (Claudius), Peter Brown (Rosencrantz), Alex Butson (Player King/Fortinbras), Poppy Godsal (Hamlet), Orna Herron (Gertrude), Daniel Lawrie (Guildenstern/Barnado), Jasmine Yun (First Player/Marcellus), Seth Kamara (Hamlet), Zak Martin (First Clown/Lucianus), Joseph Mutti (Hamlet), Jamal Pierce (Laertes), Anya Preston (Player Queen/Osric/Second Clown), Sonia Reghai (Polonius), Luana Santos (Ophelia), Jake Willsher (Horatio).
