Haunted by grief and a ghostly visitation, Hamlet is thrust into a spiral of doubt, fury, sorrow, and vengeance. Caught between action and paralysis, the prince searches for meaning in a world that seems to be falling apart. With language that soars and questions that cut to the bone, this masterwork wrestles with what it means to be human. Widely regarded as the greatest play ever written, William Shakespeare’s towering and timely classic still speaks urgently to our time. Recommended for teens and adults. Get thee to the Underground and see this stunning show.
We are renowned for making Shakespeare’s works understandable and accessible in our exciting productions. Ticket holders may attend free Preshow Plot chats, before each performance.
Plotchats begin at 6:15 for evening shows and at 1:15 for matinees.

Support MERELY PLAYERS
We humbly ask that you consider contributing to Merely Players, a 501(c) (3) organization.
As is true in theatres across the nation, ticket prices account for only about 30% of our operational and production costs. The rest of our expenses must be met through private donations and grants.
Live theatre is a dynamic, expensive venture, and our costs keep rising. Donations are used to meet venue expenses, pay royalties, hire actors and other personnel, pay for technical elements such as scenery, costumes, and lighting, and to publicize our shows. The money we raise directly affects the quality of our productions.
Theatre adds vitality and variety to a community, and your tax-deductible donation helps to ensure that we can continue to thrive.
