Bernhardt/Hamlet in Bloomington, MN

Mark Twain wrote: “There are five kinds of actresses: bad actresses fair actresses good actresses great actresses – and then there is Sarah Bernhardt.” In 1899 the international stage celebrity set out to tackle her most ambitious role yet: Hamlet. Theresa Rebeck’s new play rollicks with high comedy and human drama set against the lavish Shakespearean production that could make or break Bernhardt’s career.
