to tell my story: a hamlet fanfic at Silver Spring Black Box Theater

Living in a time, as we do, when Teen Vogue is helping to lead the progressive movement and political backstabbing plays out on social media, to tell my story: a hamlet fanfic is the perfect reimagining of Shakespeare's Danish detective for our current climate. After Elsie receives a message suggesting her father may have been murdered by her new stepfather, she embarks on a high-stakes quest into the wild world of online fanfiction. As she seeks confirmation of her suspicions by retelling her story in increasingly outlandish ways, her friend Horatio can only look on in horror, wondering where it will all end. Catch the world premiere of this comic tragedy -- from the clever mind of satirist and playwright Alexandra Petri -- at the Silver Spring Black Box Theatre.
