World Premiere.
William Shakespeare’s words have a powerful present day resonance in the life of a woman seeking intimacy and her place in the world. In this solo show, created and performed by Mary MacDonald Hamill, the voices of Hamlet, Prospero, Ophelia, Juliet, St. Joan, King Lear … are intertwined with her own deeply personal autobiography. Intrigue and disaster on the Broadway stage (where Ms. Hamill has played opposite such luminaries as Carol Channing, Sid Caesar, Judd Hirsch) reveal a mysterious aspect of life on the stage seldom contemplated. The New York Times has called Ms. Hamill a performer of “dignity and grace”. Incidental music by Michael Welsh. Directed by Eddie Lew.
“Profoundly moving! … astonishing biographical pieces standing side by side with the grandness of Shakespeare’s declarations … Ms. Hamill is a shining stage presence”|
—Kevin Goetz, Emmy nominated producer
“Riveting! The relevance of Shakespeare’s words brought into our very lives.”
—Rachelle Benveniste, poet
