In a neo-Elizabethan Appalachia, Ophelia rises out of the
water, dreaming of Pop-Tarts and imagining how things might have gone
differently for her. Hamlet is here, as Rude Boy. Gertrude is a brothel madam,
and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern her androgynous helpers. Playwright Caridad
Svich constructs a beguiling lyrical landscape out of broken desires and
repaired ambitions.
