“Hamlet”: Shakespeare Reimagined in Northwest Georgia

Banner for “Hamlet” at Conasauga Shakespeare Coalition.

When William Shakespeare wrote his plays centuries ago in England, he could hardly imagine how what he imagined might be reimagined.

Take “Hamlet,” for example - there’s a film version set in London’s South Asian community that is now on the film festival circuit.

And in Northwest Georgia, another contemporary version of the play is on stage - from the Conasauga Shakespeare Coalition, based in Dalton.

That production opened over the weekend at the Dalton Convention Center - and heads to Prater’s Mill this Friday and Saturday.

Lane Davies, the Coalition’s artistic director, is co-director of “Hamlet” - and he plays Claudius.
