GROSSMONT COLLEGE (Press Release)–The Theatre Arts Department will present Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Directed by Jeannette Thomas, March 10-12 and 16-19, at 7:30 pm and March 12 and 19 at 2 pm in the Stagehouse Theatre.
Murder. Betrayal. Lust. Adultery. Arguably Shakespeare’s most profound play, Hamlet offers up a dark, brooding hero who, like many people at one time or another, suffers grief, loneliness and fear in the wake of a family tragedy. Full of introspection and philosophy about the nature of life and death, the universal themes in Hamlet find a resonance with modern audiences—when faced with life’s most difficult challenges, do we have the courage to rise up and meet them; or like many, does “conscience make cowards of us all.” Can we ever be really certain that we know the truth?
