ARTS PICK: HAMLET @ PARAMOUNT MAINSTAGE

Posted on October 19, 2012 by SEAN CLANCY Email

When it comes to Hamlet, you can’t do better than thespians from Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. It’s as if they’ve trained for this very thing! Tonight, at the Paramount Mainstage, a more “youthful” rendition of the tragedy, because really, who wants a middle-aged, pot-bellied Hamlet? Certainly not Gertrude.
