12 Ophelias (a play with broken songs)
Drama
Runs Apr 10 - May 24, 2026
In this play with broken songs, Shakespeare’s Ophelia rises out of the water dreaming of reclaiming her life. She finds herself in a neo-Elizabethan Appalachian setting where Gertrude runs a brothel, Hamlet is a Rude Boy and nothing is what it seems. In this mirrored world of word-scraps and cold sex, Ophelia cuts a new path for herself.

This is a story about money. Don’t let them fool you otherwise. When a father loses his child in a clash with the local police, he is visited by three strangers who advise him to take the city’s cash settlement, relocate and forget his grief–or else stay and remain impoverished surrounded by memories of the world his child fought so hard to protect. This world premiere from Academy Award-winning ensemble member Tarell Alvin McCraney explores how grief, justice, sexuality, gender, history and even pride become secondary concerns in the wake of currency.
