Dash's partner was killed and he's supposed to do something about it. Except vengeance is only the beginning as he finds himself in the crosshairs of the most powerful crime boss in sunny San Diego, Claude, as she tries to keep her underworld from imploding. Can this detective find his way out of the labyrinth of dames and double crosses or is his tragedy inevitable?

Enter one of Shakespeare's most famous worlds where everyone's probably rotten and one thing's for sure: No one survives unscarred, if they survive at all. It's the Bard's greatest detective story reimagined with the inspiration of classic film noir. This is...HAMLET: DEAD FOR A DUCAT.

Six Part Productions is proud to present a weekend workshop of HAMLET: DEAD FOR A DUCAT at The Bridge @ Shetler Studios in NYC, April 28 through May 1. Written by Matthew Klein, directed by Kelly M. Johnston, starring Josh Evans and Elizabeth M. Kelly*.
