Hamlet at Chicago Shakespeare Theater

Why see Hamlet?

aLL thE waY frOM lIMA

Chicago Latino Theatre Alliance and Peru's Teatro La Plaza combine to present an extra special production of Hamlet, in a boundary-breaking way you've never seen before! Featuring a cast of performers with Down syndrome, the unique adaptation re-imagines the famous question of "to be or not to be?" through the perspective of issues of discrimination and representation, reframing Shakespeare's classic to explore the lived experience of the performers themselves. 

Featuring music, dance and comedy, this is Hamlet in a brand new light. Traveling all the way from Lima, Peru for this special run of shows, the run is also an opportunity to celebrate another lens of Latine culture, right here in Chicago.
