A provocative prequel to Hamlet. Passion. Deception. Power. A love story for the ages based on the brilliant book by John Updike, told through the uncanny lens of Mark St. Germain. 2018 Edgerton Foundation New Play Award Winner.

GERTRUDE: We must not speak of love.

CLAUDIUS: No, we must not.

GERTRUDE: This is sin.

CLAUDIUS: Not by the laws of love. There are sins against the Church, and sins against nature. Our sin has been these many years one of denying our natures.

This play contains mature content.
