Shakespeare & Company presents open–captioned performances of Hamlet, featuring the Northeast Regional Tour of Shakespeare. Open captioning features a large projection screen above the stage, displaying the text the actors are reciting via “supertitles.”  They are accessible to Deaf or hard-of-hearing audience members.

The Northeast Regional Tour of Shakespeare unleashes the dark and powerful tale of Shakespeare’s Hamlet: a story full of mystery, revenge, and tough choices about truth and loyalty, Hamlet follows its titular character as he learns that his uncle killed his father, the King, and now wears the crown.

The 2026 Northeast Regional Tour of Shakespeare is currently touring across New England, New York, and Pennsylvania. The tour will also be presenting a sensory-friendly performance on April 25. Sensory-friendly performances have been adapted to be less overwhelming to the senses. They are designed to welcome individuals with various sensory needs, including people on the autism spectrum, those living with cognitive, social, or physical challenges, first-time theatergoers, and others.
