Notes: Second-to-last night and third-to-last performance of this season of the tour which puts on each outdoor performance in a different park, most but not all in the Louisville area. April-May 2023 saw this seven-actor, 90-minute production perform in a record number of 36 locations. Starts in the middle of the pre-show announcements and the first 30-40 seconds are full of rustling; I only barely made it on time for the show! Be prepared for sound disturbances throughout, as this particular performance was very close to both a street and a playground. So expect to hear cars and noisy children. Some kids are also audible in the audience. Towards the beginning of the show someone is handing out programs, and he strikes a brief and not particularly loud conversation with someone near me. Oh, and there was a guy with a dog that walked right by me during the “To be or not to be” speech; not sure whether or not you can hear my quiet “aww,” but if so that would be why! Having said all that, the dialogue is very clear throughout regardless of other sounds. And hey, it’s Hamlet!
