Starting tomorrow is yet another in a series of excellent productions from Marshall's Department of Theatre. For several years now, MU has presented a Shakespeare play as part of each season (and if you've missed them, you've missed some great shows).
This year they're taking a break - but still keeping the Bard in the mix - by tackling "I Hate Hamlet" by Paul Rudnick. Here's the description: "A young and successful television actor relocates to New York, where he rents a marvelous, gothic apartment. With his television career in limbo, the actor is offered the opportunity to play Hamlet onstage, but there's one problem: He hates "Hamlet." His dilemma deepens with the entrance of John Barrymore's ghost, who arrives intoxicated and in full costume to the apartment that once was his. Critically acclaimed 1991 Tony nominee."
The show runs February 21-24 with shows starting at 8:00 p.m. I'll be there, and I urge you to go forth and do likewise!
