I love watching a talented artist with excellent intuition, skills, and dedication to their art. Luckily, you get three of those in one show.
From scene to scene, over and over, the audience is gifted beautiful imagery, surprises, and strong performances at every moment.
This is a true character study piece about someone who has a very twisted definition of the word love. This contemporary appropriation of classically conflicted characters brings new context when discussing the manipulative nature of humans.
Go with a friend or two as this piece will benefit with a post-show discussion. And that’s what good theatre does. ...

It is a rare thing to see a cast that is this in sync with each other.

Tremendous acting and an entertaining reflection on a familiar tale. I've never been let down by this group-- last year's Quantum Entanglement was my fav of the Fringe-- so I went into this show knowing essentially nothing of what to expect, and was delighted. Each character felt so real, so complex, so relatable, which really made this investigation of the old story feel very alive and engaging. The show is rife with charm, love and a palpable sense of tension throughout. I absolutely loved Katelyn's Hamlet, so flawed, so manipulative, so emo! And the brother/sister relationship between Laer and Ophelia rang so true. Really all the relationships felt so authentic and complicated. Just watching them interact and fumble through the insane dra...

I loved this take on three significant characters in our theatrical cannon. They're flawed, they're funny, they're petty, they're brutal, they're heartfelt. Do yourself and favor and see a really unique spin based on the most overdone play of all time....

It's Hamlet made more accessible, more fun, more painful, and a thousand times more real. And they get it all done in an hour. Take that, Shakespeare!...

Really engaging work by all three involved not only onstage but as the writing team behind the show. Chemistry onstage can sometimes be tricky but these three nailed it. The dialogue was sharp and funny and dangerous in places. Definitely recommended!...

Wow. What a great show. The way Lucid Dramatics took these well-known characters, put them in a modernized world, and told this story about them was really captivating. This show really makes you feel things and invest yourself in this story and its characters. It even has moments where will relate to the relationships that you see onstage. You will find yourself having trouble keeping in your audible reactions due to the fantastic delivery of this story and these relationships by the actors. ...
