[…] Theater Galatea is tackling its own take on Hamlet that’s rooted in [a] street show they witnessed in [Paris]. [It’s] about half the length of the original play and written for four actors. But, while the theater company won’t be heading out to any street corners just yet, it has […] a production that’s expected to run about two hours, with an emphasis on clarity, story and emotion. […] Their goal is to get the audience to forget that [they already “know” the story] for a couple of hours, and realize that the characters don’t know what’s going to happen to them.

I found myself absolutely transfixed by these four incredible performers. The essence of story is sculpted so precisely [from the scripts of Julius Caesar and Macbeth] by Patrick Joshua Laskey, and the actors, who swim so gracefully in the waters of this language, were masterful in their portrayals, and brought such new life to these iconic characters.”

This was the best Hamlet I've ever seen, and considering how often I've seen it, that's saying something. Go! I promise, you won't sit so long your butt goes numb.

It's a little harder to get some funny on than you might think, which makes Put Out: An Adulterated Farce such a delight. ... With this auspicious beginning ... we can only add a warm and giggly welcome to the new Theater Galatea. Sacramento definitely has room for this kind of fun.
