Fortinbras, a hilarious sequel to Shakespeare’s immortal tragedy Hamlet, begins immediately after Hamlet’s death. When young Fortinbras of Norway and his army march into Elsinore, he finds the entire royal family dead, and immediately sets about the first order of business for any new leader – lying to the public. The story he concocts to fortify his claim to the throne is going pretty well, too – until the ghosts of Hamlet, Ophelia, Polonius, and more start to appear.
Cast:
Hamlet - Alex Stansky
Osric - Chuck Dufano
Horatio - Greg Aldrich
English Ambassador - Rich Riggleman
Fortinbras - Adam Olsen
Captain - Roe Lloyd
Marcellus - David Teagle
Barnardo - Nate Mims
Polish Maidens - Kate Gleason and Jamie Olson
Polonius - Bill Gerlits
Ophelia - C.E. Haworth
Claudius - Chris Carpenter
Gertrude - Doreen Loring
Laertes - Karl Gronwall
Praise for the actors of Fortinbras!
"In the title role, [Adam] Olsen is charismatic..."
"Greg Aldrich as Horatio and Chuck Dufano as Osric perfectly balanced the former's angst against the latter's desire to simply go along."
"Christopher Carpenter as the ghost of Claudius and Doreen Loring as the ghost of Gertrude are excellent together..."
"As the ghost of Polonious, Bill Gerlits shines in the first act without saying a word... and is even better when he breaks his silence in act two."
"As a lusty, embittered Ophelia, [C.E.] Haworth enlivens every scene in which she appears. The actress navigates Ophelia's shifting moods and efforts to manipulate both the living and the dead with zeal; her manic smile as she spars with Fortinbras and the ghost of Hamlet (Alex Stansky) is indelible."
