Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, has a problem. He commissions a performance from a troupe of Players to exact revenge on his murderous uncle, but it may be more trouble than it's worth. Originally commissioned as a co-production between Amphibian Stage and Fort Worth Opera, the play is an irreverent riff on one of Shakespeare's greatest hits.
