WORLD PREMIERE ADAPTATION! Central City is proud to present HAMLET MAX. This post-apocalyptic setting of the classic animates and projects Hillary Bauman’s manga-style background art as the cast of four men and four women freshly explore Shakespeare’s text for a contemporary audience. The 90-minute script is derived from the Second Quarto (Q2) and takes character inspiration from the Norse history myth of Amleth, in which the funeral Hamlet encounters when he returns from England is his own. "He is alive and dead at the same time," says Sidney. "Like the Japanese Ronin archetype, he has nothing left to lose, and this makes him the most dangerous of all."
