Hamlet

Join Quantum Theatre for a return to the Carrie Furnace National Historic Landmark and kick off its 2023-2024 season with Shakespeare’s Hamlet like you’ve never seen it before. Rock n’ roll infused and haunted by the sins of the past, this telling of Shakespeare’s enduringly great play finds perfect connection to the present. Quantum’s Hamlet creates an amazing world of ambition, paranoia, and revenge. Join endlessly fascinating characters trying to tell appearance from reality.

The show will run for two hours, with a 15-minute intermission.
