Heralded by the New York Times as “fast, funny, unapologetically sillyâ€
and “affectionately amusing,†“I Hate Hamlet†is a stage comedy about
disillusioned television star, Andrew Rally who is left without work or
many prospects, save for the daunting task of playing Hamlet on stage.
Less than enthused about playing a role he deems too complex for casual
audiences, Rally is visited by the ghost of John Barrymore—who appears
in full Hamlet costume—and is inspired to put forth his best
performance yet, playing Prince Hamlet.
