Listen to Hamlet Wakes Up Late (November 10–18) adapter/director and PMA assistant professor Rebekah Maggor and composer Kinan Abou-afach talk about the play with WHCU Talk Radio's Lee Rayburn.
In this biting political satire of Shakespeare's tragedy by renowned Syrian poet and playwright Mamduh Adwan, Hamlet is a narcissistic prince, blissfully unaware of his people's bleak reality. Distracted by drink and theatre rehearsals, Hamlet fails to notice the rise of a brutal plutocratic dictatorship.
