The Wooster Group has been at the forefront of American experimental theatre, cultivating their own language — a fusion of sophisticated technology and radical interpretation — for over 30 years. Under the direction of Elizabeth LeCompte, the collective now breathes life into that complex canon-staple Hamlet. Basing their production on Richard Burton's mind-bending 1964 multimedia version (a 17-camera video piece, technically), the Group pieces together a fragmented, impressionistic reinterpretation, radically altering the play's form, but not its core sentiments and considerations on the tragically confused prince.
