WARRENTON — Do you

It’s Hamlet — with a happy ending?
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.
