SSP Announces Cast of I HATE HAMLET

SSP_logoSunset Players is proud to announce the cast for our spring production, I HATE HAMLET:

  • Anne Marie Penick as Felicia Dantine
  • Gunther Henkel-Moellmann as Andrew Rally
  • Hannah Goodman as Deidre McDavey
  • Merritt Beischel as Lillian Troy
  • Mike Burke as John Barrymore
  • Jason Amos as Gary Peter Lefkowitz 

I HATE HAMLET
By Paul Rudnick
May 3-18, 2013

Andrew Rally has it all: celebrity from his starring role in a hit television series; a beautiful girlfriend; a glamorous, devoted agent; the perfect New York apartment; and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park. Having second thoughts about playing such a challenging role, in front of a live audience no less; the tipsy ghost of John Barrymore returns to his old apartment, urging Andrew to cast off the trappings of the material world and throw his soul into his destiny as an actor, to play Hamlet on the stage.

“…unapologetically silly and at times hilarious… affectionately amusing about the theatre…-The New York Times

“… fast-mouthed and funny…It has the old-fashioned Broadway virtues of brightness without pretensions and sentimentality without morals.”-The Village Voice
