Astor Street Opry Company presents ‘Hamlet II’ parody ASTORIA — To spoof or not to spoof — there’s no question! For its annual spring fundraiser, the Astor Street Opry Company will present a reader’s theater production of Sam Bobrick’s hilarious send- up of the Bard’s most famous play: “Hamlet II (Better Than The Original).” Performances will take place at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 6, 7, 13 and 14, with one Sunday matinee on May 8. Where else but at the ASOC will you ind the story of Hamlet with a happier ending? Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Groucho and Harpo Marx. Ophelia is a party girl. Hamlet is a pest. Yorick is a crazy comic. If you’ve had trouble grasp- ing the intent of Shakespeare’s classic endeavor, this play should clear it up once and for all. The text remains true to good old Will Shakespeare’s basic fundamentals.
