Family-Friendly Theater: "Hamlet, Prince of Puddles"

While Shakespeare's "Hamlet" isn't on any elementary school reading list that I've seen, family-friendly theater company L'Enfant Terrible has re-created the murderous, revenge-seeking tragedy as a fun play that's also accessible to children.

Playwright Angela Berliner, director Justin Zsebe and producer Seth Compton of L'Enfant Terrible have turned this depressing tale into something that they say will be a "hilarious and family-friendly adaptation of the Bard's classic."

L'Enfant Terrible specializes in creating kid-friendly works, and its adaptation of "Hamlet" is making its second showing at Bootleg Theater after a successful run in the spring.
