I am a deeply sensory person who cares about love and ethics. Hufflepuff to the core. The redwoods were my first home and my heart will live there forever. I live in the sensory world, I am only a visitor to ideas and words. Oh, and my alignment? Chaotic-good.
In the spring, the Wilma will stage back-to-back productions of William Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Tom Stoppard’s now classic behind-the-scenes comedy Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead,
both directed by Wilma Artistic Director Blanka Zizka and using
essentially the same cast for both productions. The title character in
Shakespeare’s tragedy will be played by the powerful actress Zainab Jah,
who appeared as Prudence in last season’s production of The Convert.

The Wilma is excited to produce what many believe to be the greatest
play written by Shakespeare, and many others consider the greatest play
written in the English language. The fight for the throne of Denmark,
quest for moral righteousness, and complexities of vengeance within a
21st century context will be reexamined on our stage.
