Leigh and Melissa Present: Hamlette! is the funny story of two officemates re-envisioning a famous play. From adjoining cubicles in the accounting department, they discover a shared passion for performance art. So, they come up with a seemingly great idea: to put on a two-woman rendition of Hamlet in the basement of a nearby church. They stay late in the office each night, rehearsing in secret. But, as their hopes for success grow, so do their artistic differences. Before long, both their budding friendship and their show are in jeopardy.

The show was developed and presented at AS220’s 95 Empire in Providence, RI as part of their residency series in 2012. Read more about the production in this article from Providence Monthly.
