PERSSON HALL
Performance Length: 1 hour 15 minutes

Real-life family – Susanna Hamnett, Joshua MacGregor, and Lily
MacGregor – play the bereaved family of the once-great actor, Henry
Elder, who was billed to perform his career-defining solo Hamlet
at the famous Elsinore Shakespeare Festival. But, as they discover,
Henry Elder is determined not to let anything as inconvenient as
death prevent him from being there. With Shakespeare’s Hamlet as
the pivot around which the family’s story revolves, the play is by
turns absurd and poignant.
