This is Hamlet as you have never seen it before. The Improv Guild is reimagining Shakespeare's greatest tragedy and making it fun. Using the styles and techniques of improvisation as well as the words and themes of Shakespeare, actors from the Improv Guild will improvise their way through the timeless tale of murder, deception and revenge. The result will be a part scripted, part improvised, part musical romp that is wholly entertaining and understandable to modern audiences. No two performances will be the same as each night audience suggestions will help determine the outcome. It's the people's Hamlet. You'll have to see it to believe it.

“Something is Rotten in the State of Denmark.
Methinks it may be this banana peel...”

Performed by a mixed-abilities cast, Ganesh Versus The Third Reich follows two simultaneous stories; on one hand it is a play about the elephant-headed god Ganesh, sent to earth in 1943 on a quest to reclaim the Swastika (an ancient Hindu symbol) from Nazi Germany. On the other, it is the story of a young man inspired to create this play about Ganesh – god of overcoming obstacles – and the group of individuals struggling with its creation. The actors perform both as themselves and as the characters in this ‘play within a play’, effectively convincing the audience that this work is being made, in each moment, before our eyes. As the ‘Ganesh play’ is rehearsed, initially witty interplays between the performers and the director become increasingly more uncomfortable. What is the real story? Whose play is this? Are the performers being empowered or patronized, and as the audience are we also implicated?
