WELCOME TO HAMLETS
A PROTOTYPE FOR THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE ARCHIVING

This website is an exploration of the creative process that gave birth to the first run of HamletS, a deconstructed version of Hamlet. It was directed by Janet Sonenberg, and the cast were all MIT students. The pre-production took place during the Fall Term of 2002 at the Theater Arts Department at MIT; then rehearsals extended througout the IAP of 2003. The production ran at Little Kresge Theater in February 6th-8th and 13th-15th, 2003
