February 4-March 10 — To Laugh or Not to Laugh
When people think about Shakespeare, humor is often not the first thing that comes to mind. But then again, this is not your average stage performance. An adaptation of the Bard’s most popular play, I Hate Hamlet tells the story of an actor who seems to have it all, just as his perfect life begins to fall apart. Written by Paul Rudnick, this sidesplitting show at Tarrytown’s Lyndhurst mansion provides a fittingly irreverent tribute to one of the world’s greatest writers.
