Hamlet
Shakespeare in Clark Park (SCP), recently named Metro Philadelphia’s Best Local Theatre Company, returns for its 21st season with a daring new production of Hamlet. This inventive reimagining features four professional actors rotating through the title role, alongside a vibrant ensemble, in a production that is as playful as it is profound. Performances run July 29–August 2 in the Bowl of Clark Park, with additional touring performances across the region beginning the week prior.
Created in collaboration with Revolution Shakespeare, this actor-driven adaptation is conceived by Revolution Shakespeare’s Artistic Director Tai Verley alongside Barrymore-nominated performer and acclaimed Shakespeare artist Cassandra Alexander, who will also perform. Directed by SCP Producing Artistic Director Shamus, the production foregrounds transformation, theatricality, and the thrilling immediacy of live performance, with actors shifting roles and perspectives in real time.
