A real-life Shakespearean tragedy in modern day Brooklyn…with some humor twisted in.

Part family comedy, part Greek tragedy – My Brooklyn Hamlet is Brenda Adelman’s acclaimed one-woman show about family, murder, love, betrayal and the awesome power of forgiveness. In 1995, Adelman’s mother was shot and killed by her father and within months he married her aunt. This is a story about love and hate, passion and numbness, and how to find joy after you’ve lost everything.

A co-production with Oceanside Theatre Company
