A Two Woman Hamlet

By William Shakespeare

Directed by Mara Sherman

Starring Hannah Sweet & Nicola Collett


No matter how many Hamlets you've seen, you have never seen it like this: two women, armed with nothing but a fake skull, a real shovel, and a lot of imagination, perform Shakespeare's classic play. Sounds far-fetched? The Washington Post called it "ingenious...a production whose approach is all about turning limits into opportunity." DC Metro Theater Arts called it "hilariously entertaining...something I'd not imagined was possible to do." A weekend-long encore of the Capital Fringe hit, A Two Woman Hamlet is presented as a full production at a Pay What You Will price.


Following the performances of A Two Woman Hamlet February 22, 23 & 24, hang out with cast members at Delia's and enjoy a unique "Meet the Cast" menu featuring special prices on dishes and drinks!

January 11, 2020

The Washington Stage Guild continues its season of great writers with the Washington premiere of Bloomsday by Steven Dietz. This delicate, time-bending romance is set in James Joyce's Dublin on June 16th, the date on which Joyce's Ulysses is set. Robert returns to that city 35 years after meeting Caithleen on a walking tour of Joyce's Dublin. He and Cait meet again and revisit their youthful relationship, amid the echoes of Joyce's masterwork, and the missed connections of that earlier time in their lives. Helen Hayes Award winning Kasi Campbell will direct. A post-show discussion will follow the Sunday matinee on February 2nd, James Joyce's birthday.
