ASHTABULA —
Andrew Rally seemed to have it all until the television series he starred in was canceled.
Now he has a chance to play Hamlet. There ís just one problem. Andrew hates “Hamlet.” And to make matters worse, he moves into a new apartment that is haunted by the ghost of John Barrymore, the greatest Hamlet actor of all time!
G.B. Community Theatre at the Ashtabula Arts Center will open the comedy “I Hate Hamlet” Oct. 26 at 8 p.m.
From the moment Barrymoreís ghost returns, Andrew's life is no longer his own. A drunken Barrymore, fortified by a big ego, presses Andrew to accept the role and fulfill his actor's destiny. The G. B. Community Theatre production is directed by Bob Kilpatrick of Madison.
