One of the inspirations for the Wilma Theater’s upcoming take on “Hamlet” was Polish director Andrzej Wajda’s 1989 production, which cast actress Teresa Budzisz-Kyryzanowska in the title role.

Zainab Jah watched a film of that production during her own preparation for the role and says, “I very quickly forgot I was looking at a woman and got caught up in what the character was going through. It so beautifully told the story of this person’s condition, this loneliness and isolation that the character of Hamlet was feeling.”

Zainab Jah appeared as Prudence in last season’s production of The Convert. The Wilma is excited to produce what many believe to be the greatest play written by Shakespeare, and many others consider the greatest play written in the English language. The fight for the throne of Denmark, quest for moral righteousness, and complexities of vengeance within a 21st century context will be reexamined on our stage.
