![]() While some of the cast is aghast at the very idea of rewriting the Bard, the production is a hit. Troupe member Wendy (Deborah Cox, First Wives Club ) has rewritten Hamlet in the vernacular of the 1990s grunge scene, which Conductor Sara hastily adopts in order to prove the Symphony’s relevance to Gil, her former partner.
