American Shakespeare Center: March 20, 2009; 7:30 PM, Langston Hughes Theatre 

American Shakespeare Center will perform Shakespeare’s signature tragedy, Hamlet on the Langston Hughes Theatre Stage. The plot revolves around the brooding Danish Prince Hamlet who is torn between his father’s ghost’s injunction for him to seek revenge for his murder by his brother, Claudius and the Biblical command that revenge belongs to the Lord. Prince Hamlet is by far Shakespeare’s most complicated and compelling character. Intelligent, resourceful, passionate, capable of overwhelming grief and seething rage, Hamlet struggles with treachery, incest and moral corruption. The American Shakespeare Center tours internationally and performs in repertory in historic Staunton, Virginia at the Blackfriars Playhouse. It is the world's only re-creation of William Shakespeare's original indoor theatre of that same name. By following the basic principles of Renaissance theatrical production, ASC gives their audiences a sense of the Elizabethan era theatrical experience.
