From overactive libidos, to a self-important Player King; "Elsinore Follies" took square aim at one of Shakespeare's classics, Hamlet. From the opening this was definitely not the Elsinore we had all learned about in school. To top it off, a previously bit character was now elevated to the lead, the Gravedigger. Throw in a wanton Queen, a less than chaste Ophelia and an assortment of other motley, scheming and generally disreputable characters and you've got light-hearted romp through frozen Elsinore.
