The performance "I Hate Hamlet" at the Musical Comedy Theater of St. Petersburg invites viewers to immerse themselves in the world of theatrical passions and conflicts. Based on the play by Paul Rudnick, this production takes viewers to the heart of St. Petersburg, where a dramatic story about a young actor who encounters the ghost of his past is played out.
The adaptation of the play for Russian audiences was made by Igor Shevchuk, a famous screenwriter of such projects as Smeshariki and The Fixies. In this version, the action is moved from New York to St. Petersburg, and the name of the legendary John Barrymore is replaced by one closer to the Russian audience. However, the main intrigue remains the same: the clash of two eras and styles in the theater.
The play explores the eternal questions of choice between commercial success and true art. The main character, a young actor, fights the temptation to continue his career in television series or return to his theatrical roots. This confrontation between traditional theatre and modern media makes the production relevant and profound.
The Musical Comedy Theatre, located in the historical centre of St Petersburg, offers a cozy atmosphere and excellent acoustics, making the visit to the performance unforgettable.
