Hamlet's Bad Quarto @ UNH in Durham
Running from November 8 - 12
Details @ http://www.unh.edu/theatre-dance/productions.html

"To be or not to be, aye there's the point...
The earliest published edition of Hamlet is known as the "bad quarto" because it's much shorter and the language is very different. Scholars assume that it was a pirated edition, transcribed from memory by actors and/or audience members. It's rarely performed, and I'm certainly looking forward to it.

Also, if you can't get enough of the Melancholy Dane, New Repertory Theatre (of Watertown) will offer a touring production of Hamlet from March 5 -- April 13, although that may be strictly for the schools.

And Ben Evett, founding member of ASP and currently playing Hamlet in their production, has been asked if he's interested in directing that NewRep production, and is considering it, if he's not going to kill himself with overwork thereby.
