Wouldn't it be great fun to direct William Shakespeare's "Hamlet"? That was
what Margo Daley always thought...until she is hired to do just that by the
Peaceful Glen Memorial Players in their theater, a renovated funeral home.
They DO have a couple of conditions, however. Margo has to make the play a
melodrama, so the audience will know when to throw the popcorn. And they
can't be too loud because the lady who lives under the theater bangs her
cane on the stage. Oh, and Margo has to insert the sponsors' names into the
play and, by the way, has to take place in the Old West. "And make sure the
actors talk real loud because of all the noise the audience makes sucking
their fingers," states one of the council members, an occupational hazard
brought about by them selling barbecue before the show. All kinds of
eccentric characters come out of the woodwork in this riotous tribute to
life on the community theater stage. Even the pizza delivery boy is given
parts - several since Margo only has four actors to portray the five-act
tragedy. Fast lines and even faster exits punctuate this farce as Margo and
her troupe of misguided actors find out what it's like when they begin
"Barbecuing Hamlet."
