Most of us are familiar with Shakespeare’s Hamlet, but did you know that Why Not Theatre and CanStage have joined forces to create a fully integrated retelling for both hearing and Deaf audiences?
Described as a “cross-cultural, gender-flipped” version delivered in spoken-word and American Sign Language, Prince Hamlet will be performed at CanStage from February 6–24.
Join us at Hart House for a conversation led by Director Ravi Jain and deaf actor Dawn Jani Birley about creating Prince Hamlet, a unique re-imagining of the classic play. They will discuss their experiences developing the show, the translation and relevance of classics, and how to make hearing/deaf collaborations more effective.
