Hello!
For those of you who are new, this is a community for my play One Woman Hamlet: Shake(speare) The Stigma Surrounding Mental Health. However, this is also a community where I share some of the amazing information that I’ve unearthed on mental health during the preparation for the show.

During this time, we created the film version of One Woman Hamlet.
To be the first to hear about One Woman Hamlet updates, shows, and community opportunities please E-mail me! onewomanhamlet@gmail.com
