THE BROADWAY SENSATION
A “smart, breezy backstage comedy”
– Chicago Sun-Times

Sept 14 - Oct 20, 2019 in Goodman's Albert Theatre

2 hours and 30 minutes with one intermission

Bernhardt/Hamlet

“It is delightful to undress a man, and find a woman inside.” – Edmond, Act I, Scene ii

High humor and human drama collide in a rollicking comedy “so clever it uplifts, so timely it hurts” (The New York Times). In 1899, legendary leading lady Sarah Bernhardt’s decision to assume the title role of Shakespeare’s Hamlet left critics and patriarchs aghast and indignant. Laced with forbidden romance and backstage gossip, this behind-the-scenes look at Bernhardt’s most ambitious role is a “dynamic character study” (Variety) of one of the most famous actresses—and infamous divas—in the world.
