Director: John Stenko

his hilarious comedy involved a story about Andrew, a young TV actor, whose show has just been cancelled. So he moves from L.A. to New York and rents an apartment that once belonged to the legendary actor, John Barrymore. He is apprehensive about performing the difficult part of Hamlet in the prestigious Shakespeare in Central Park festival. When the ghost of John Barrymore, fortified by champagne and ego, arrives, Andrew's life is not his own as Barrymore presses him to accept the part and fulfill his actor's destiny. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and the fact that he fails as Hamlet in Central Park. Absolutely a hoot!
