Grades 5 - 12 | 60 Min. | In-School Performance
The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is one of the nation’s premier repertory theater companies, presenting world-class productions of Shakespeare, classic works, and contemporary plays that inspire, entertain, and engage audiences of all ages.
Hamlet – One of Shakespeare’s most studied plays, OSF's version of Hamlet is a wonderful introduction to the play for all audiences. After he is charged by a ghost to revenge his father’s death, Hamlet struggles to find the right path forward. This fast-moving 40-minute version of the classic brings the main characters and central issues Hamlet encounters to life.
Students will be able to engage in a talkback with actors directly after the play.
