I don't, though, of course. Hamlet and I have been the best companions for years now, but I can understand how he can be overwhelming. Hilarious play; I'd love to see it live!

A very very funny script about an actor being haunted by the ghost of John Barrymore.

My book club is reading a play for July 2013 so I'm in a bit of a theater reading frenzy.
I Hate Hamlet was amusing. It's about a TV actor who loses his job and, somehow, lands the lead of Hamlet in Central Park's summer Shakespeare series. The actor, Andrew Rally, knows that he's not a great actor. Thankfully, he's living in the old NYC apartment of John Barrymore, legendary for his portrayal of Hamlet. Even better, the apartment is haunted by Barrymore who is more than happy to give Andrew acting lessons.

A quick read, and incredibly funny without beating you over the head with desperation for laughs — I find a lot of modern comedies do that, or maybe I’m just cynical...
Even as a Hamlet lover, there’s a lot to love about I Hate Hamlet and its reflections on theatre and love and life. Highly recommend this one!
