I Hate Hamlet at Bowie Playhouse

When Andy, a Hollywood star whose career is currently booming, accepts the role of Hamlet at New York's Shakespeare in the Park, his agent thinks he's lost his marbles. How else could Andy possibly explain trading in a TV role that guarantees big bucks for a tired turn in a dusty old Shakespeare production? And maybe he is, in fact, losing it ... considering that he now finds himself haunted by the ghost of John Barrymore -- an actor regarded as the greatest Hamlet of his time. Praised by The New York Times for its "unapologetically silly and at times hilarious" tale, playwright Paul Rudnick's I Hate Hamlet was a hit on Broadway, earning a Tony Award nomination and a slew of devoted fans.
