Bat-Hamlet

Slate Theater
815 Seattle Blvd. S Seattle

What if Shakespeare had conceived the melancholy Dane as a costumed crime fighter? Bat-Hamlet tells the tale of a Dark Knight who emerges from betwixt the pages of Shakespeare to exact revenge on his murderous uncle, King Jester. Once resolved to avenge beloved King Police Commissioner Gordrick's death, Hamlet dons the persona of Bat-Hamlet, a flashier and much cooler version of his brooding youth. The world of comic books and the Bard of Avon come together in this hilarious mash-up. It's a tale of murder, revenge, poetry and BAM! SOCK! POW! Fans of Shakespeare and Batman, alike, will love being immersed in the maddening spiral of these iconic characters when they swoop into Seattle's Slate Theater.
