On April 23, the Old Globe will premiere a new audio adaptation of its top-selling 2017 production of “Hamlet” on KPBS Radio 89.5 FM.
Old Globe artistic director Barry Edelstein directed “Hamlet” four years ago, and he reunited almost every member of its cast for “Hamlet: On the Radio,” including star Grantham Coleman as the troubled Danish prince Hamlet. Yet despite the similarities to the high-tech 2017 staging, the radio adaptation will also be different. Coleman said he has changed a lot as an actor in the intervening years, and the style and shape of the actors’ performances were reimagined for the radio audience.
