←Recommendations of Something is Rotting on the Stage of Glenmark

This short play has fun turning theatrical conventions askew as it presents an unusual audition. A potential actor with ego but no talent insists on being cast in a college production of Hamlet. The put-upon director just wants to finish casting, but this person will not give up. What do you do when someone insists they’re meant for the stage and will not leave even when they leave this mortal coil? But all is not lost as he is left to give the theatre’s ghost light company.

You’ll never look at the Ghost in Hamlet the same way again. Same goes for Hamlet, an audition, a Shakespeare quote. I could go on. Let’s just say Preuss’s play is life-altering. In the most wickedly, funny way.

Hilarious from the opening line to the ultimate resolution. The classic confrontation between the talentless would-be actor and the weary director is presented on steroids. And oh the twist! There's so much to delight in this riotous short.

A jaded and student-weary drama professor struggles through a hopeless Hamlet hopeful's endless audition. Each relentlessly pursues their objective with hysterically obstinate energy and wit, ending with a truly clever resolve. Laugh out loud funny stuff.
