I Hate Hamlet!

I Hate Hamlet is a fast-paced, sharp-witted comedy that skewers the acting world while celebrating its passions. Andrew Rally seems to have it all: fame from a hit TV series, a beautiful girlfriend, a glamorous agent, a dream Manhattan apartment—and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park. But things aren't as perfect as they seem. His show’s been canceled, his girlfriend is determined to remain chaste, and he hates Shakespeare. Enter the ghost of legendary actor John Barrymore, who, fueled by ego and champagne, is dead set on coaching Andrew into theatrical greatness. What follows is a hilarious clash of ambition, art, and egos as the young actor battles Barrymore, his doubts, and a very real sword.

Directed by Tony Rust
