By featuring male
and female twins in “The Comedy of Errors” and “Twelfth
Night,” Shakespeare capitalized on the humor that comes from mistaken identity and
the provocation found in issues grounded in gender roles and social
politics.
By double-casting
the title character in “Hamlet” with a male and a female actor in alternating performances, the only thing Great Lakes
Theater director Charlie Fee meant to capitalize on was his deep and diverse talent
pool of performers.

The preview performance of “Hamlet” grabbed
and held the audience’s attention. Laura
Welsh Berg was convincing and gave a “different” dimension to the role of the
Prince of Denmark. Though Shakespeare
traditionalists may scream “something is rotten in the state of Denmark” (GLT),
others who see the “female” version of the play should leave saying, “Good-night, sweet
prince; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”

One thing is for certain, whichever performance you
choose to see, be it Hamlet portrayed by a man or a woman, you will be witnessing
one of Great Lakes Theater’s finer productions and a premiere adaptation of a
great and noble work.

Happily, the production delivers the jolts and jibes we've come to expect of what is arguably Shakespeare's most famous play.
