Set in Paris in 1899, the play follows the legendary Sarah Bernhardt’s bold decision to defy expectations, gender norms, and theatrical tradition by playing Shakespeare’s iconic prince.
Theresa Rebeck, brilliant author of 'Seminar,' 'Mauritius,' and many more indelible plays, debuted 'Bernhardt/Hamlet' on Broadway in 2018. This vibrant, witty, and thought-provoking play follows the incomparable Sarah Bernhardt as she takes on her most daring role yet—Hamlet.
