Announcing the cast of I HATE HAMLET — an Ignite! Readers Theater Booklight Production. Thank you to all who auditioned.
This comedic masterpiece explores the clash between Hollywood and classical theatre. Follow Andrew Rally, a TV actor reluctantly preparing to play Hamlet in Central Park. When he moves into John Barrymore’s former apartment, he encounters the ghost of Barrymore, adding a supernatural twist to his struggle. Filled with uproarious moments and clever dialogue, this play is a rollercoaster of laughs, drama, and unexpected twists. Join us for an evening of comedic genius as we navigate the complexities of acting, love, and the timeless question—to Hamlet or not to Hamlet?
This production will be a in-concert style dramatic reading; no costumes, props or scenery.
