Sacred Fools Theater is proud to quietly present the world premiere of Jonas Oppenheim's Hamlet Shut Up.  What this dialogue free adaptation lacks, it makes up for in slapstick, music, clowing, vaudville and sharks.  The physically gifted ensemble developed the piece beat by beat, scene by scene concocting the funniest most poignant way to present Shakespeare's masterpiece without the use of dialogue.
