I Hate Hamlet
a synopsis of the play...
Andrew Rally seems to have it all: celebrity
and acclaim from his starring role in a hit television series; a
beautiful girlfriend; a glamorous, devoted agent; the perfect New
York apartment; and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park. There
are, however, a couple of glitches in paradise. Andrew's series has
been canceled; his 29 year old girlfriend is clinging to her
virginity with unyielding conviction; and he has no desire to play
Hamlet. When Andrew's agent visits him, she reminisces about her
brief romance with John Barrymore many years ago, in Andrew's
apartment. This prompts a séance to summon his ghost. From the
moment Barrymore appears, dressed in high Shakespearean garb,
Andrew's life is no longer his own. Barrymore, fortified by
champagne and ego, presses Andrew to accept the part and fulfill his
actor's destiny. The action becomes more hilarious with the entrance
of Andrew's deal-making friend from LA, spouting the laid-back hype
of the Coast and offering Andrew a fabulous new TV deal worth
millions of dollars. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with
his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and the fact that he fails as
Hamlet in Central Park.
