Hamlet in Harlem
A young ivy-league filmmaker is determined to produced his all-Latino urban adaptation of Shakespeare’s immortal drama. The only problem is that he doesn’t know much about Latinos, Harlem, or even Hamlet.
This “comedy of errors about a tragedy of errors” premiered at Theater for the New City in New York on April 7, 2022, for 12 sold-out performances.
It had a second run in November 2022, and received three Latino Alternative Theater Awards for Best Ensemble, Best Direction and Best Production of Comedy.
“Alberto Ferreras’ script brims with ideas peeking at us through layers of bawdy humor. It is witty, sharp, quick—even profound when reasons for good and evil are explored. It even manages to be heartwarming!”
Sonia Manzano, author, show runner, and the legendary Maria from Sesame Street.
“Run, don’t walk to this hilarious meta-play about a group of actors who rewrite Hamlet to their own ends during a table reading. By the brilliant, clever rascal Alberto Ferreras.”
Barbara Morris. Media Professor
“Fun evening, laughing till my stomach hurt, watching Ardes Quinn, John David West and company romping the boards on Alberto Ferreras’ Hamlet in Harlem.”
Joan Kane. Director & Playwright
