Recommendations of Noir Hamlet

  • Greg Hovanesian: Noir Hamlet

    What happens when you combine Shakespeare’s magnum opus with spitfire dialogue and the streets of L.A? In the case of Noir Hamlet, you’re left with a wildly entertaining and insightful play! When Little H., a private eye, is visited by his father's ghost, who demands vengeance, H takes on “the case” with enthusiasm. But the twists are many, the turns lead to darkness, and friends become enemies. This is a wonderful hard-boiled detective story, replete with shady characters and often hilarious banter. It also serves as a reminder of what humans are capable of: deceit, lies, murder.
