The world premiere of Theresa Rebeck's Bernhardt/Hamlet begins performances at the American Airlines Theatre on September 1, 2018.

Oscar Nominee and Golden Globe, Tony & Olivier Award Winner Janet McTeer is officially returning to Broadway to star in Roundabout Theatre Company's world premiere of Pulitzer Prize finalist Theresa Rebeck's new play Bernhardt/Hamlet, directed by Tony Award nominee Moritz von Stuelpnagel. The limited engagement is set to play Broadway's American Airlines Theatre from September 1 through to November 18, 2018, with an official opening set for September 25.

Synopsis: "Mark Twain wrote: "There are five kinds of actresses: bad actresses, fair actresses, good actresses, great actresses. And then there is Sarah Bernhardt." In 1899, the international stage celebrity set out to tackle her most ambitious role yet: Hamlet. Bernhardt/Hamlet rollicks with high comedy and human drama, set against the lavish Shakespearean production that could make or break Bernhardt's career. Janet McTeer brings the legendary leading lady to life."

Additional casting and creative team information for the production will be announced at a later date.
