Patrick will star in Center Theatre Group’s new, Hitchcockian noir take on Hamlet by William Shakespeare, which will be performed at the Mark Taper Forum from May 28 to July 6.
Also starring in the production are For All Mankind‘s Coral Pena as Ophelia, Suits‘ Gina Torres as Gertrude, and Only Murders in the Building‘s Ariel Shafir as Claudius.
The legendary story begins: “So … once more… tell me about this Ghost.” But Ghosts are tricky things. Especially in a world of madness, murder and mayhem. A rich entitled Prince goes on a ferocious rampage that will lead to a massacre in the living room. Is he a tragic hero as we’ve often been told? Or a royal blooded serial killer?
“I’m delighted to announce the cast that will bring Robert O’Hara‘s brilliant reimagining of Hamlet to life,” said CTG Artistic Director Snehal Desai. “With Patrick Ball, who is shining in the hit series The Pitt, Coral Peña, who CTG audiences will remember from Our Dear Dead Drug Lord two seasons ago, as Ophelia, and the extraordinary Gina Torres as Gertrude, Robert has assembled an exceptional ensemble. It’s been fifty years since we have presented this classic play at CTG and this sultry production will infuse the Taper with sharp-laced wit, blood, and ghostly intrigue, offering a Hamlet like nothing you’ve ever experienced. I can’t wait for audiences to see it.”
