My Brooklyn Hamlet

Lamplighters Theatre
5915 Severin Dr. La Mesa

How would you respond if your father killed your mother ... and then married your aunt? Could you forgive him?My Brooklyn Hamlet is Brenda Adelman's true story that plays out like a Shakespearean tragedy in modern-day Brooklyn. The one-woman show stars Adelman herself in a story about family, murder, love, betrayal and the power of forgiveness. In 1995, Adelman's mother was shot and killed by her father, who married her aunt only a few months later. My Brooklyn Hamlet at San Diego's Lamplighters Theatre is a story about one woman's journey to find joy again after losing everything she held dear.
