Gary Busey's One Man Hamlet

Gary Busey's One Man Hamlet

Baruch Performing Arts Center
55 Lexington Ave New York

Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, and Hollywood mainstay Gary Busey have both convinced their respective publics they're mad. And now, for the first time ever, the two characters have been placed side by side for a one-man show that proved a favorite at this year's New York International Fringe Festival. In Gary Busey's One Man Hamlet, comedian and Gary Busey impersonator David Carl romps through all five acts of Shakespeare's tragedy with absurdist pride. Using homemade puppets with Busey's own face on them, videos, live music and poetry, Carl's psychotic, Busey-fied version of Hamlet takes liberties with the original text and infuses running gags and contemporary references into this once-classic work.
