‘I Hate Hamlet’ continues in Richland

The Richland Players’ production of I Hate Hamlet continues for the next two weekends.

Performances are at 8 p.m. Nov. 17-18 and 24-25, and at 2 p.m. Nov. 19 and 26 at the Players theater, 608 The Parkway.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students, seniors and the military. They’re available at richlandplayers.org, by calling 509-943-1991 and at the box office.

The play centers on Andrew Rally, a TV star who moves to New York to play Hamlet in a Central Park production. He’s reluctant, not sure he can pull off one of The Bard’s most famous roles. Then, after a séance, he’s visited by the ghost of John Barrymore, a legendary actor known for his turn as Hamlet. Plenty of laughs — and even a sword fight — follow.

The production stars Sergio Bueno as Rally and Steve Montgomery as Barrymore. The cast also includes Lorinda Ferland, Cindy Juntunen, Shairra Rahseparian and Michael Thomas.

Tim Harris is directing and Patty Cook is producing.
