Hamlet
to be Performed in Lesesne Auditorium
The Shenandoah Shakespeare Express will present
Shakespeare's Hamlet in a matinee performance
at Erskine College Saturday, Sept. 25 at 3 p.m. in
Lesesne Auditorium.
Committed “to Shakespeare's text and to the
mission of connecting that text to modern
audiences,” the work of the Shenandoah
Shakespeare Express (SSE) has been described by the Washington
Post as “shamelessly entertaining
Shakespeare.”
The entertainment provided by SSE makes use of
production practices common in Shakespeare's day,
including universal lighting, in which actors can see
and engage the audience; doubling, in which one actor
can play several roles; simple sets; contemporary
costuming; and a brisk pace, eliminating
intermissions and ensuring a continuous flow of
dramatic action.
Admission is $5.00 and the public is invited to
attend. For further information, please call Dr. Joan
Little at 864-379-8849.
