The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm) closes its 40th anniversary season with a captivating new production of “Hamlet” by William Shakespeare, the playwright whose work cemented and continues to elevate the theater’s regional reputation for fearless, timeless art.

Gamm Artistic Director Tony Estrella directs what promises to be an exhilarating staging of this famous tale of murder and revenge with Jeff Church in the play’s titular role. Jeanine as Hamlet’s mother, Gertrude; Kelby Akin as his uncle turned stepfather, King Claudius; and Nora Eschenheimer as Ophelia headline a company of seasoned artists as they plumb the depths of the human condition through Shakespeare’s transcendent words.

“‘Hamlet’ is the play that most defines The Gamm over the last 25 years. Our first production in 1997 in Providence put us on the theatrical map and pushed us in an exciting new direction that has continued through today,” said Estrella. “I like to call Shakespeare our unofficial house playwright, having produced many of his most iconic works including a second “Hamlet” in 2011. Now, here we are for our third go-round with quite simply the greatest play ever written in the English language. Shakespeare has been The Gamm’s calling card and we couldn’t think of a better way to put an exclamation point on our 40th season than by revisiting this towering masterpiece for the first time in our Warwick home.”

“Hamlet” runs April 3-27 at The Gamm Theatre, 1245 Jefferson Blvd., Warwick, R.I. Tickets: $65-$75; preview performances (April 3-6) are $55.
