KERRY MCGEE

"Blissful” Chris Rustic and “Slick” Nick Riot of A RUSTIC RIOT are just playing a regular rock 'n’ roll gig, when their sweet tunes unexpectedly summon the ghosts from HAMLET - who hijack the show to tell their story one rock song at a time, spiraling us towards the dramatic denouement. Will Nick and Chris be able to finish their gig?  Can indie rock prevent the greatest tragedy ever written? And who invited Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, anyway?

​

The first event of a 5-year Hamlet series with We Happy Few, A Rock 'n' Roll Mixtape was performed in various locations around Washington DC: Capitol Hill Arts Workshop (a blackbox theatre), The Shed (a backyard house-show space), and Loves Me Not (a cocktail bar).

"The idea and overall project is a refreshing attempt to bring audiences back in touch with one of the greatest pieces of literature of all time." - DC Metro Theater Arts
