About The Event
Little Theatre Group Repertory is back again with their new Hindi Stage Production "The Curse of Hamlet" which is based on William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
The year is 1993. Abhigyan Theatre, established for more than two decades, has been presenting a successful production of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet for the last 20 years. Hamlet has always been performed by Abhigyan’s founder, Sarveshwar, who is as immersed in the character of Hamlet as he is in alcohol and his arrogant belief in his acting prowess.
Tainted with the madness of Hamlet, his relations with his actress-wife Bhavna and his 22 year old actor-son Siddharth have also soured. Siddharth wants to play Hamlet once, just to make a point to his father, to gain his validation.
The manager of Abhigyan Theatre is Chetan, who too has an unfulfilled desire of playing Hamlet and he is also secretly in love with Bhavna. Chetan, Bhavna and Sarveshwar were friends from college days and their lives are intricately and perhaps inextricably bound together.
What if the separation between the character and the actor, ceases? What if the character steps off the stage and enters your life, your space? The conflict, struggle and dilemmas between real and unreal, between life and art, between actor and character, between the self and the very meaning of existence -- this is the complex, intriguing and spell-binding story of The Curse of Hamlet.
