Review:
Hamlet, clearly directed by David Esbjornson and now at The Duke on 42nd Street, is a well-crafted, modern dress (costumes by Elizabeth Hope Clancy), contemporary rendition of Shakespeare's play with a fine actor, Christian Camargo, in the title roll, my old mime teacher, Alvin Epstein, as a crotchety Polonius, and a mostly strong supporting cast on an imaginative set by Antje Ellerman with fine lighting by Marcus Doshi.

Christian Camargo (Hamlet), Scott Drummond, Jonathan Fried, Tom Hammond (Horatio), Sean Haberle (Marcellus), John Christopher Jones, Craig Pattison, Ryan Quinn, Robert Stattel, Richard Topol
