“To be, or not to be; that is the question.”--Hamlet

 

February 7, 2011 (El Cajon) – The Grossmont College Theatre Arts Department will present Hamlet by William Shakespeare, directed by Jeannette Thomas.

 

Murder. Betrayal. Lust. Adultery. Those are among the themes in what many critics consider Shakespeare’s most profound play, which will be presented in the Stagehouse Theatre March 10-12 and March 16-19 at 7:30 p.m., as well as on March 12 and 19 at 2 p.m.

 

 Hamlet offers up a dark, brooding hero whosuffers 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?”

 

No food or drink permitted in the Theatre. Children under 10 years of age not permitted in the Theatre.

 

Tickets cost $12 for general admission, $11 for seniors, military, and faculty/staff of the Grossmont Cuyamaca Community College District, or $10 for GCCCD students with ID.
