Nico Miller's adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet. Hamlet tells the story of the Prince Of Denmark who is visited by the ghost of his recently deceased father. This ghost incites him to avenge his unjust murder, leading to the downfall of families, relationships, and an entire kingdom. This work will be a series of vignettes taken from the original work with a focus on blurring gendered and sexual roles.

Show Description:

Mountain Language written by Nobel winning British Playwright Harold Pinter adapted by Yijia Yu. Mountain Language is a one-act play that takes place in an unspecified totalitarian regime. The play revolves around the suppression of language and the cultural identity of a group of people who speak a language referred to as Mountain Language. In this oppressive society, the ruling authorities systematically deny this group the right to use their native tongue. The play explores the profound impact of language deprivation, the dehumanization of individuals, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of oppression.
