Hamlet

The Peruvian company Teatro La Plaza’s version of Hamlet combines Shakespeare’s masterpiece with personal anecdotes and reflections from the show's eight actors, all of whom have Down’s Syndrome. Director Chela De Ferrari marshals the spectacle, which is performed in Spanish with English supertitles. The production was part of the Big Umbrella Festival at Lincoln Center last year, and Theatre for a New Audience is bringing it back for a longer run—providing space not just for a new audience but for a relatively new kind of performer.
