Hamlet, played by David Lee Jr., struggles to stay standing. He wears a tank top, necklace, cross on a necklace, and an intricate circlet crown. The photo frames him from the torso up and we can see a fine layer of sweat across his face.
Ophelia, played by Martha Merritt, passes out flowers to the audience. She wears an embroidered, ankle-length dress and earrings. Her hair flows in the wind as she walks across the lawn at Paul J. Ciener Botanical Gardens.
The Ghost, played by Jen H. Mont, walks across the stage at Congregational United Church of Christ with his upstage hand outstretched. He wears a loose white shirt, looe white pants, and glasses. The curtain behind him is closed.
Claudius, played by George Durfee, looks suspiciously at someone offscreen to his right while holding Gertrude, played by Sherri Raeford, to his left. Claudius wears a satin metallic shirt, an ornate cloak, and an intricate circlet crown. Gertrude wears a velvet and satin gown, jeweled necklace, long earrings, and tiara. Gertrude looks down while clasping her hands in front of her. They both stand in front of the wooden stage at Ciener Gardens.
