I Hate Hamlet
Should Andrew Rally, popular TV actor, go for the dough, now that his soap opera's been cancelled? Or should he essay the role of Hamlet, in the park, not-for-profit? In Paul Rudnick's comedy, the spirit of John Barrymore helps him decide between crass commercialism and an artistic calling. The script loses its way in Act two, but Intrepid Shakespeare's production is so strong, the downslide's easier to take. Ably directed by Christopher Williams, Ruff Yeager stars as Barrymore, over-the-top but of a piece and eloquent throughout. Francis Gercke does a fine turn as Rally, the Hamlet-hater; their tandem work is outstanding. Tom Stephenson heads a capable supporting cast as Gary Peter Lefkowitz, Phillistine extraordinaire and ditzy, hilarious whirlwind.
