Traveling Players Bring Play To Kiln
Lime Kiln Theater’s summer 2024 schedule continues on Saturday, July 27, when Traveling Players Ensemble presents “Hamlet.”

The performance will take place at Lime Kiln rain or shine. Hamlet centers on a reluctant hero making impossible choices. Returning home after his father’s death, Hamlet is unsettled by his mother’s speedy remarriage to his uncle. Then the ghost of Hamlet’s father appears and reveals that he was murdered by the man who now wears his crown – and commands Hamlet to murder him in revenge. But can you trust a ghost? Hamlet fakes madness while searching for the truth. He’s surrounded by faithful friends (or are they friendly spies?), an anguished court, and a troupe of oddly relevant actors. This revenge tragedy brims with intrigue, trickery, heartache, and more than a little humor.
