CALENDAR
Most kids come home from college to catch up on laundry and enjoy home-cooked
meals. But poor Hamlet returns to Elsinore to fi nd that his father’s been off ed and his
mom’s taken up with the murderer, as Simon Luedtke, 17, a senior at South Eugene High
School, plays the title role in the school’s new production of the Bard’s most tragic tale.
“Hamlet is unique, in terms of character growth,” Luedtke says. “The main challenge has
been maintaining continuity, and that focus of goals and tactics.” Hamlet is a fl awed pro-
tagonist, Luedtke continues. “He doesn’t know what to act on.” South’s Hamlet — which
opens Thursday, Jan. 21 — is a stylistically modern adaptation, and the production is up
for a spot in the prestigious International Thespian Convention. An adjudicator from that
festival will attend the show in Eugene, and if selected, the whole cast, along with the
whole set, will be traveling this June to perform it in Lincoln, Nebraska.
