STEVE DUNKELBERGER: LAST PERFORMANCES >>>
It’s Sunday, and you need a laugh. Tomorrow’s gonna be hell, so today should be uproarious. Today marks the last day for several local theater productions.
I Hate Hamlet
TV actor Andrew Rally finds himself in the gothic apartment in New York City that was once owned by the legendary actor John Barrymore. He is in town to do a Shakespeare in the Park production of Hamlet, a role Barrymore owned during the time he was warmer than room temperature. The fact that he is dead doesn't stop the very hammy Hamlet from offering advice to the young actor.
