Celebrating its 20th Anniversary, the Los Angeles Women's Shakespeare Company presents a bold, new investigation of the English-language theatre's greatest tragic figure... Hamlet

Hamlet, as revealed through women’s voices, continues the LAWSC tradition of upending our expectations of Shakespeare’s familiar subtexts by pricking our ears to listen anew to his masterful characters and plotting. The production will be further inspired by its contemporary Los Angeles setting, evoking a politically dynamic, sexually provocative, and culturally divergent frame for the drama to unfold.

The Los Angeles Women’s Shakespeare Company presents Hamlet in a co-production with the Odyssey Theatre Ensemble, who continues its decades-long commitment of providing Southern California audiences the finest representations of collaborative work.

The Los Angeles Women’s Shakespeare Company @ 20 … "whose end, both at the first and now, was and is, to hold, as 'twere, the mirror up to nature."

Best, Lisa Wolpe
Producing Artistic Director
