Hamlettes
by Patrick Shaw

Middle school Shakespeare enthusiasts Alexandra and Chloe decide to start a theater club, and Hamlet will be their first project.

Bossy Alexandra will play Hamlet (obviously), which leaves aspiring actress Chloe with every other character.

Not interested in playing Hamlet's spurned love interest, Chloe enlists an innocent classmate, who is conveniently named Ophelia, to play her namesake.

Deciding to never break character as an “exercise,” the girls' vague romances and less vague resentments cause their adolescent drama to spiral dangerously out of control.
