I HATE HAMLET
by:
Paul Rudnick
A young and successful television actor relocates to New
York, where he rents a marvelous, gothic apartment. With his television
career in limbo, the actor is offered the opportunity to play Hamlet onstage,
but there's one problem: he hates Hamlet. His dilemma deepens with
the entrance of John Barryrnore's ghost, who arrives intoxicated and in
full costume to the apartment that once was his. The contrast between the
two actors, the towering, dissipated Barrymore whose Hamlet was the greatest
of his time, and Andrew Rally, hot young television star, leads to a wildly
funny duel over women, art, success, duty, television and yes, the apartment.
