HAMLET_2

Dana Marschz is a failed actor and recovering alcoholic who's moved to Tucson to teach high-school drama, where he's plagued by bad reviews, student indifference, budget woes (he and his wife, who is trying to get pregnant, take in a boarder), and his own teaching limitations. Because the other electives are closed, he finds himself with a large class of seeming gang-bangers, and the principal informs him that drama will be cut next trimester. On a student reviewer's advice, Dana decides to stage his own play, a sequel to "Hamlet" in which the prince and Jesus use a time machine to try to save Gertrude and Ophelia. Can Dana pull something off for once?
