In England, Queen Victoria continues her reign. Around the world, the harnessing of steam power for the benefit of mankind has allowed the speculations of visionaries such as Jules Verne to become reality. In Denmark, the King has died under mysterious circumstances, and his Queen has been remarried— to the late King's brother. The Prince, Hamlet, suspects his uncle had a hand in his father's death, but what can he do to prove it— and after proving it, revenge it?
Join us for Shakespeare's classic tragedy, presented in the Steampunk style.

The Mission of Butterfield 8 Theatre Company is to provide audiences a fresh take on classic plays, and foster the creation of new works.
Our Vision is to present audiences with examples of both ends of the theatrical spectrum: new productions of classic works, focusing in particular on text-driven plays (such as the works of Shakespeare), and new works devised by the company or written by local playwrights. Our work often examines perceptions of gender, both within the context of the play and the larger context of society as a whole. We strive to create an immersive environment, believing the audience’s experience starts when they buy the ticket, and shouldn't end when they leave the theatre. We honor that the audience has come for a live theatre experience to engage with a story or an idea; to be taken on a journey. This is our responsibility, and our craft.
