Zomblet
One Hallowe'en season, things in Elsinore got bloodier, stranger, and spookier than ever before. Award-winning playwright Dan Bray directed this zombified adaptation of the Shakespearean classic, Hamlet, with an ensemble company of talented Nova Scotian artists, in co-production with Terra Novella Theatre, playing at the Bus Stop Theatre Oct 2019.
Zomblet's comedic adaptation takes the world-famous script through a wild ride full of hilarity and horror. In the wake of his father's bizarre death, Hamlet and his Danish friends are confronted with a new evil bent on destroying the kingdom. With the help of some Marlovian professionals, Hamlet and his fellow tragedians must get their doublets dirty in order to restore the kingdom and defeat this unholy plague.
