"To be or not to be? That is the question." These famous words come from the play "Hamlet." In order to bring Shakespeare to students they have come up with something called "Taking Shakespeare to the Schools, Southern Utah University had the great privilege of getting to see their first play of their tour.

This is a small company that will spend the next three months on the road, stopping at different schools in order to show an eighty minute version of the story of "Hamlet," and then take a few minutes to just sit and chat with the audience about the show, and answer any questions they may have about either the show itself or the life of the actors who participate.

The show itself is amazing. It is phenomenal how with only a few actors, and a very minimal set and costuming, they can create something magical. Naturally, since they have to take everything with them on the road, so they are unable to have the elaborate costumes and sets that you would see at a stationary theater, but that doesn't make their costuming or sets any less amazing.

Though it was shortened to fit into only 80 minutes, you still get the full story of what is going on. The actors do great with being both actors of multiple characters and the stage crew on top of that. They did an amazing job and it's definitely worth seeing.
