Shakespeare’s Hamlet
We love a good theatre performance here at Sassy Mama HQ, so many of us in the office were excited about this one. This pared-down version of Hamlet (the actors are part of a travelling troupe!) will use a completely portable stage to share the Bard’s play with us all. Grab those tickets early if you want to check this show out!
