Meet Bedlam’s cast for both Hamlet and Saint Joan!
One of the defining characteristics of a Bedlam Theatre Company production is they often have four actors play every single role in the play. The results are pure mayhem, hilarity, and a frenetic, new energy brought to even the most well-known plays. Artistic director Eric Tucker admits that this feature of the group originated as a way to produce theatre on the cheap (“When you’re starting a company and you don’t have a lot of money, it’s just less people to pay”); now the four actor format is something that brings fans coming back for more and more Bedlam.
“Save your Hamilton dollars and go see it.” – This American Life host Ira Glass on a recent Bedlam production.
“Anyone who listens to the eminently sane and persuasive voices of Bedlam is destined to become a convert.” – The New York Times
