Hmlt: A Punk-Noir Tragedy (Zemwerk)

by Stella Maria Perry, Oisin McGillion Hughes

Zemwerk proudly presents HMLT, a full-length play inspired and infused with Shakespeare's Hamlet and Dark Lady Sonnets, the labyrinthine works of Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, Hardboiled Film Noir, 1970s Punk Rock, Oedipus, Oscar Wilde, the Talking Heads, and, of course, David Bowie. HMLT follows an Angry Young Man through a modern-day labyrinth of secrets, violence, and broken families, as he struggles to extricate himself with the guidance of a mysterious book containing a meta-history of his life, commentary on the original play Hamlet, and cryptic clues that force him into an investigation of human nature and the essence of self. Written by award-winning playwright/actor/director Stella Maria Perry (House of Carte Blanc).
