Event:
I HATE HAMLET ~ Performed by Theatre Kelowna
Date: Mar 12nd, 2010 to Mar 21st, 2010
Time: 08:00pm to 12:00am
Description:
Andrew Rally seems to have it all: celebrity and acclaim from his starring role in a hit TV series; a rich beautiful girlfriend; a glamorous, devoted agent; the perfect New York apartment; and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park.
There are, however, a couple of glitches in paradise. Andrew’s series has been cancelled; his relationship is rocky; and he has no desire to play Hamlet.
When Andrew’s agent visits him, she reminisces about her brief romance with John Barrymore many years ago, in Andrew’s apartment. This prompts a séance to summon his ghost. From the moment Barrymore returns, dressed in high Shakespearean garb, Andrew’s life is no longer his own. Barrymore, fortified by champagne and ego, presses Andrew to accept the part and fulfill his actor’s destiny.
The action is further complicated by the entrance of Andrew’s deal making friend from LA, spouting the laid back hype of the west coast and offering Andrew a fabulous new TV deal worth millions of dollars!
Directed by Margaret Gobie and written by Paul Rudnick. Performed Cabaret style with drinks and refreshments.
