The Actor's Shakespeare Project is staging Hamlet at the Strand Theater. In fact, the theater is part of the staging. The audience sits close, up on the stage with the actors. The experience is reminiscent of Vanya on 42nd Street. If you go you'll be pleasantly surprised. It's been extended through November 17th so there's plenty of time.

I'm not a purist but I also don't like overly distracting gimmicks. This production was true to the play but also not stodgy. Great acting, great theater, great production. What more could you want? How about a parking spot right across the street? You won't find that on Brattle Street on a Friday night.
