SUMMARY:Shakespeare's "Hamlet" in the Park (Fools & CCC)
DESCRIPTION:A Company of Fools is presenting Hamlet\, Shakespeare’s most iconic play\, at New Edinburgh Park on the east lawn of the Fieldhouse. \nTheir fast-paced 90-minute rendition of the Bard’s greatest tragedy will feature disemboweled puppets\, a sword fight to the death\, live underscoring\, and 5 actors taking on 15 different roles. \nJoin the Fools this summer as they delve into the depths of the human experience and have a few laughs along the way. Whether you’re a Shakespeare nerd or this is your first foray with the Bard since high school\, our foolish take on Hamlet has something for everyone. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBring a lawn chair or blanket\, bug spray\, picnic\, and your sense of humour. \nPay what you can\, with a suggested donation of $20 per person.  Pass-the-hat donations are collected at the end of the performance and can be submitted in the form of cash\, credit card\, cheque\, or bars of gold. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nAbout Hamlet \nReturning home to attend her father’s funeral\, Hamlet discovers that another ceremony has already taken place: the marriage of her mother to her uncle. That’s right\, her dead father’s brother. When Hamlet is visited by her father’s ghost demanding that she avenge his murder\, Hamlet begins to wonder – is it she who has gone mad or everyone around her? \nThe play takes place in a fairytale-inspired Elsinor\, an extravagant kingdom ruled by the freshly crowned King Claudius. But don’t let its decadent appearance fool you\, there’s something rotten in this fairytale wonderland. \nRe-imagined to feature a female Hamlet\, her feigned madness is a rejection of feminine expectations and an attempt to free herself from a fake world. This is the story of a quest for justice that exposes what happens when a young woman challenges authority. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Team \n\n\n\n\nOttawa’s Maryse Fernandes stars as Hamlet and reimagines Shakespeare’s iconic protagonist as a ‘mad young woman’. Micah Jondel DeShazer\, who played Ariel and Caliban in last summer’s production of The Tempest\, stars alongside Maryse as the diabolical King Claudius. \nRounding out the team is Ottawa’s Jacqui Du Toit\, a storyteller and founder of The Origin Arts Centre\, as Queen Gertrude. Fools’ veteran Mitch Rose plays both father and son\, Polonius and Laertes; and Andrea Massoud lends her talents to the roles of Ophelia\, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern\, and Horatio. \nA Company of Fools’ Artistic Director Nicholas Leno and resident designer Vanessa Imeson spearhead the production’s creative team. Fools fans will remember Nicholas and Vanessa’s carnivalesque take on Romeo+Juliet in 2019. \nAbout the Fools \nBest known for our Shakespeare in the Park series\, we tour 90-minute versions of Shakespeare’s hits to parks across Eastern Ontario. \nWe believe that it doesn’t matter where you live\, how much you make\, or how old you are: theatre should be accessible to everyone! All of our performances are for PWYC donations\, family-friendly\, and our touring model means we bring the theatre right to your backyard. \nOver the last 30 years\, we’ve developed our signature foolish approach to staging Shakespeare. We work with a small cast of actors to embody 15 different characters within a production and employ styles of slapstick\, mask\, and puppetry to create a family-friendly experience. We help first-time theatregoers discover their love for live performance through our foolish approach to storytelling! \nThe Deets
