Think Hamlet, but twisted into something funnier, something more scatological, more irreverent. Children’s comedy theatre company The Listies debut a new show, which throws ninjas, zombies and pillow fights into one of the most revered plays of the Western canon.

Sisters Grimm’s Declan Greene directs this alternate Hamlet (Prince of Skidmark). He breaks down the fourth wall, then puts it back up with fart jokes, blood and guts. Be warned: everyone dies at the end, and that may include the audience.
