Hamlet in the Other Room is an immersive experience; part-satire, part-magic-realism. Taking place in the dressing room, corridors and performance space of RUMPUS, the audience is asked to bear witness to an ensemble of young women performing an all-female production of Hamlet. The cast decides that the play no longer serves them, and seek to destroy it in order to create something that does.
In the dressing room, ideas and ideologies clash as the company tries desperately to wrench themselves away from traditionalism and create a risky new paradigm. On stage, the play itself goes wildly off the rails. The audience is invited to move between spaces and create their own narrative in a theatrical choose-your-own-adventure— much like this group of actors, who are taking fate into their own hands and forging a new story in which they can see themselves fully reflected.
Hamlet in the Other Room is the debut production from newly minted local collective Good Company Theatre.
