Tonight's play was Hamlet at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater on Navy Pier. The theater was beautiful and the props, though minimalistic, were very effective and adequately eery. The character of Hamlet was played by Canadian actor Ben Carlson who did an outstanding job.
This was the first time for me to see Hamlet dramatized and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I seem to be getting high doses of Shakespeare lately thanks to some interesting offerings around the Chicago area.
This was intended to be a belated birthday gift for a girl I was dating, but alas, by this time she was already contemplating "To Be (with Scott) or Not To Be (with Scott)? Indeed, that is the question." I went with my friend John instead. :P
