Poster for “Sweets to the Sweet” in Chicago

Here’s the post that the Gorilla Tango Theatre in Skokie, Illinois (Chicago ‘burbs!) is using for my show “Sweets to the Sweet.” This is a modern version of Hamlet, with a gender-reversed cast — so Hamlet becomes Hamlette, Ophelia becomes Phil and so forth.

Naturally, I said “yes.”
Here’s the result. Well, sort of. I haven’t seen the actual video yet, but Rose shares these photos from the shooting: Read the rest of this entry »
