Object Of Desire
Tickets to “Hamlet” at the Duke on 42nd Street Theater, $75, at duke.new42.org
Reason #1
The Duke’s new showing of Shakespeare’s tragedy “Hamlet” just got a glowing review by The New York Times’ theater critic Charles Isherwood (remember his cameo on Gossip Girl).
Reason #2
For those of you who haven’t touched a verse of iambic pentameter since your High School English class, it is time to brush up on the classics. What better than a story of a tortured prince and tale of political corruption for troubled times?
Reason #3
This is not the only critically acclaimed version of “Hamlet” playing right now. The Matadero in Madrid is showing a version with one of Spain’s best known actresses, Blanca Portillo, playing the prince of Denmark.
