About the Project

Everything was going normally for 30s something Hamlet at the University of Wittenberg, studying philosophy per the plan to be a Good King*, hanging out with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern at their coffeeshop, and facetiming with Ophelia. Enter Horatio, a kind, loyal, and witty woman who seems to love philosophy and art almost as much as Hamlet. Will Hamlet confess their feelings? Will the risks that go along with proximity to royalty prove too much for Horatio? Find out in this sapphic coffeeshop AU⁺.

A fun romcom prequel of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy in modern English, featuring peak angst, unresolved romantic tension, and absolute disaster business decisions by Rosencrantz & Guildenstern.
