“An excellent evening of theater. [Jeremy Bobb as Hamlet] is a true Shakespearean hero. It is refreshing to see people delivering these powerful lines the way they were intended to be delivered. It is rare to see classical theater done really well, so this is not a play to be missed. Absolutely go see Hamlet at The Gallery Players.” -Serena Pomerantz, TheaterOnline.com
“A clean and solid production. Jeremy Bobb [as Hamlet] gives a fresh, energetic and masterful performance. He is an excellent Shakespearean actor and he takes obvious delight in the role which translated directly to enjoyment on the audience’s part. Truly masterful stuff. If you’re smart, you will go out of the way to see his performance.” -Nancy Kelly, Theatre Is Easy

Continuing a Summer Shakespeare series that began with last season’s production of King Lear, called “insanely good” by The Brooklyn Paper, The Gallery Players presents Shakespeare’s seminal work, Hamlet starring Broadway’s Jeremy Bobb (Is He Dead?; Translations).
A ghost story; a tale of fratricide; a saga of moral, political and sexual corruption. Hamlet is an epic tale about a man catapulted into revenging his father’s murder. But Hamlet’s journey is complicated by his doubts concerning the afterlife, “the undiscovered country.†An eternity is at stake!
