Thanks to his charisma and good looks – and in in spite of his questionable talent – a young actor is basking in his instant Hollywood fame, when he accepts to play Hamlet live in New York. His hedonistic life style, and lack of experience, drastically clash with the brilliant young, evangelistic young woman cast to play opposite him as Ophelia. As the work beings, their two worlds collide, both personally and professionally, as they struggle to reconcile their differences and growing affection for each other.
“This play is so moving and effective, so completely and entirely unforgettable.” Washington Times
Jane Martin is the pseudonym of a playwright whose identity is unknown. They have been writing plays since 1981. Their 1994 play Keely and Du won the American Theater Critics Association New Play Award and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Martin’s other plays include Anton in Show Business and Talking With…, a series of monologues performed by 11 actresses. Martin has frequently collaborated with Jon Jory, the former artistic director of Actors Theatre of Louisville. Jory has directed all the premiers of Martin’s plays, and some have speculated that Martin is Jory himself. He has denied this and refuses to divulge any information about Martin’s identity other than to say that they are a native of Kentucky and would be unable to write their plays if their identity were revealed.
