←Recommendations of 10 Reasons Why Hamlet is Totally Gay

A great exploration of Hamlet that reveals some of the preconceptions we may have had about him. Well done.

"Mad gay", "dumb gay" or "straight up gay", whatever this Hamlet is in a high school English class discussion of the text, MacDermott's Mr. Sherman has found a way to elicit response from his class that he surely never expected. Cultural divides abound as urban analysis of Shakespeare's most famous character assume the knowing "character" of our times.

Relentlessly clever, funny, surprising and deep, it challenges ones preconceptions about Hamlet, racial and sexual identity, and even the human condition all in a very short period of time! A mini-masterpiece!

A queering of Hamlet that will appeal to Shakespearean scholars, teen students and theatregoers that love a smart comedy.
This kind of play will make anyone rethink Hamlet's sexual orientation.
It will remind teachers to be open to their students' unorthodox perspectives and interpretations, even when what they say is not PC.
If you're producing a festival of plays inspired by Shakespeare's plays, consider this play.

Hamlet will forever be gay to me now, and I love this play for that! So wonderfully funny and real and true!

I so enjoyed this play and it would be a delight to see it on stage. So many gems within the dialogue that sparkled with wit, humor and introspection. I look forward to reading more by MacDermott.
