The King of Denmark’s mysterious death, and the Queen’s over-hasty marriage to her late husband’s brother lead Prince Hamlet to the inevitable conclusion that “something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” In his quest for retribution, the eponymous prince wrestles with morality, his own sanity and the very nature of existence itself. The greatest play ever written in the English language, Hamlet paints a startlingly poignant picture of what it means to be (or not to be) human.

THE BOOK OF MORMON
Presented by Broadway in Cincinnati
Jan. 7-26

Reviews |

THE BOOK OF MORMON tells the story of two young Mormon missionaries sent to a remote village in northern Uganda, where a brutal warlord is threatening the local population. Naïve and optimistic, the two missionaries try to share the Book of Mormon, one of their scriptures—which only one of them has read—but have trouble connecting with the locals, who are more worried about war, famine, poverty, and AIDS than about religion. Contains explicit language.
