OPHELIA'S SHADOW Bakehouse Theatre Musical -- Note this is an archived listing for performances in the year 2017 -- Written By: William Shakespeare and Lucy Matthews Directed By: Lucy Matthews Ophelia is shocked by the growing unstable moods of her lover Hamlet. Intimidated and manipulated by her brother Laertes, and father Lord Polonius, she is convinced to break ties with the young prince. Their relationship becomes more toxic as her father and King Claudius coerce Ophelia to spy on him. Tensions escalate. A murder takes place. Hamlet flees Denmark, guilty of murdering the father of the woman he professed to love. Distraught, Ophelia is left with little else. Proclaimed mad by the living, she slips into a watery grave. A feminist rock- musical, Matthew’s adaptation is Shakespeare like never before. Intertwining the famous tale of “Hamlet” with a punk-rock score, it explores Ophelia’s emotional journey throughout the last days of her life. Produced by the critically acclaimed ACT company Acoustic Theatre, in association with leading ACT experimental company Shadowhouse Pits, this show takes a tragedy and transforms it into a celebration of women and punk.
