Upon learning from his dead father’s ghost that his uncle has murdered his father, Hamlet is set on a tortuous path of moral self-questioning, paranoia, and madness. But is he truly mad or merely acting mad? “The play’s the thing, wherein I’ll catch the conscience of the king,” Hamlet tells us. And so he sets a trap, a “mouse trap,” in the form of a play put on by a group of travelling actors which will reveal the guilt of his uncle. But Hamlet is not the only one who is acting. And there are so many traps!

I saw the musical on Friday. The play is disjointed and confusing to say the least, the songs and music flat, and the delivery left much to be desired. I was less than impressed by the abilities of the cast. The only exception is of course J.P., the only one with any acting chops. Using amateurs is a laudable idea but with so many talented folks in this city why did he take only those with no dancing/singing abilities and dead faces to be in his show? I left at the intermission sadly unable to imagine sitting through another hour of this mess.
