Please join us for the 2017-18 Kirk Davis Jr. Public Shakespeare Lecture!
Is Hamlet guilty of first-degree murder for killing Polonius in his mother's bedroom?
Hamlet's lawyer, Song Richardson (Dean, UC Irvine School of Law), will defend the prince against the charge of first-degree murder. The prosecutor, Erwin Chemerinsky (Dean, Berkeley Law), will argue that the prince is responsible for his actions. The Honorable Andrew Guilford, District Judge, will bring order to the courtroom and invite you to vote on the winning argument, which will decide Hamlet's legacy.
Who is right? You’ll be part of the jury! Audience members will vote on the outcome.
Directed by Eli Simon
