On Stage Next: Hamlet
Ether Dome will give way in October to Darko’s opulent Elizabethan staging of Shakespeare’s masterpiece, Hamlet — the 26th production of a work by The Bard in Hartford Stage history. The theatre presented Hamlet only once before, during the 1987-88 Season, in a critically-acclaimed outing directed by former Artistic Director Mark Lamos and starring Richard Thomas. At three stagings a piece, The Tempest and Twelfth Night tie as the most produced Shakespeare plays at Hartford Stage. The first, Othello, was our very first production, directed by founding Aristic Director Jacques Cartier, in 1964.
