The 2022-2023 season of Centenary Stage Company’s NEXTStage Repertory will return with a production of “Living Dead in Denmark” by Qui Nguyen with performances Nov. 3 through Nov. 7.

When the dead walk…you run! Living Dead in Denmark is an action-adventure/horror sequel to Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Set five years after the events of the original, the undead have risen to power and are trying to take over the world, led by the zombie lord and true king of Denmark. Fortinbras, assembling a formidable opposition, has resurrected the corpses of some of the greatest women Shakespeare had to offer: Lady Macbeth, Juliet, and a very angry Ophelia. A clash of the undead titans ensues! Using Hamlet as a jumping-off point, Qui Nguyen throws in martial arts, horror movies, pop songs, puppetry, and comic books in this new play.

Performances will be Thursday, Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, Nov. 4 at 8 p.m.; Saturday, Nov 5 at 8 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 6 at 2 p.m.; and Monday, Nov. 7 at 7 p.m.

Performances will be in the Sitnik Theatre of the Lackland Performing Arts Center at 715 Grand Ave. Hackettstown. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and children under 12.
