Unbeknownst to their parents, and the asylum\u2019s caretakers,  there may be no hope for our new denizens of madness.<\/p>\n<p>So begins  Hamlet Asylum, an altered script of Shakespeare\u2019s seminal play,  re-arranged and re-interpreted by director Kellas Cameron to show that  little bit of insanity hidden within the psyche of each of us.  A  visceral, brutal interrogation of the human condition, Hamlet Asylum  promises to be unlike anything you\u2019ve ever seen before.<\/p>\n<p>Hamlet  Asylum runs May 3, 4, 10, and 11th at 8PM in Green Street Studios  Theatre, 185 Green St. Cambridge MA.
