“I Hate Hamlet” tells the story of a young and successful television actor who relocates to New York, where he rents a marvelous, gothic apartment. With his career in limbo, the actor is offered the opportunity to play Hamlet onstage, but there’s one problem: He hates Hamlet. There are, however, a couple of glitches in paradise. Andrew’s series has been cancelled; his girlfriend is clinging to her virtue with unyielding conviction; and he has no desire to play Hamlet. When Andrew’s agent visits him, she reminisces about her brief romance with John Barrymore many years ago, prompting a séance that summons Barrymore’s ghost. The action becomes more hilarious with the entrance of Andrew’s deal-making friend from LA, spouting the laid-back hype of the Coast and offering Andrew a fabulous new TV deal worth millions. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and the fact that he fails as Hamlet in Central Park.
