DeKALB—With its fifth production of the 2012-2013 Studio Series season of plays, Northern Illinois University School of Theatre and Dance will present a new take on a classic tale with "Hamlet Redux," a story of political intrigue and one man’s battle with personal demons.

Written by William Shakespeare, the adapted play will run from Feb. 13 through 17 in the Stevens Building Corner Theatre on the NIU campus.

War and relationships, both political and personal, are at the forefront of "Hamlet Redux." Iin Denmark during the 1940s, Hamlet experiences an industrial, rigid world where there is more to people than simply “good” or “bad.”
