Upon learning from his dead father’s ghost that his uncle has murdered his father, Hamlet is set on a tortuous path of moral self-questioning, paranoia, and madness. But is he truly mad or merely acting? “The play’s the thing, wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king,” Hamlet tells us. And so he sets a trap, a “mouse trap,” in the form of a play put on by a group of travelling actors that will reveal the guilt of his uncle. But Hamlet is not the only one who is acting. And there are so many traps!

Our wonderful production of Hamlet raised $7100 for The Gladstone Theatre and was an entry in the annual Eastern Ontario Drama League Festival. Our lead actor, Morgan Sugars-Keen, won best student actor!
