Bear Me Stiffly Up: Kate is retreating into fantasy. Phillip is fantasizing retreat. And together they must trouble-shoot both a marriage and an international tour of Phillip’s one-actor version of Hamlet. Award-winning writer Ellen Arrand takes us on a “behind-the-scenes” humourous and insightful look into sexy, soulful, and “Where do I fit in?!”

One-Man Hamlet: created and performed by Clayton Jevne’s has been described as:

“Amazing” (Georgia Straight, Vancouver),

“Ingenious” (The Herald, Edinburgh, Scotland),

“Mind boggling” (Orlando Sentinel),

“An enormous talent” (CBC Ottawa),

“Clever and dizzying” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis),

“Brilliant… remarkable” (Vancouver Sun),

“Amazing… superb” (Winnipeg Free Press),

“Leaves you wanting more” (Edmonton Journal).

Since 1991, tens of thousands have seen this touring production. After seven years in storage, Clayton remounts this show for a 20th anniversary performance. Others have followed suit, but this is the original solo Hamlet!
