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. I wrote this blog in the year and a half surrounding the first staging of the play in January of 2020. The blog organically came to an end during the pandemic. 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
