SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) April 25, 2021
Brenda Adelman, is the writer and performer of My Brooklyn Hamlet, a one-woman show about the power of forgiveness.
She found the courage to tell her story of redemption and forgiveness after her father shot and killed her mom and soon took a new bride, her aunt (her mother’s sister). In sharing her story in person on stages in 4 countries and 10 states, for over 12,000 people, for audiences as diverse as women prisoners, youth-at-risk, for domestic violence trainings, at theatres and spiritual communities she now has the opportunity to reach people all over the world with this filmed version of her show.
Brenda’s found freedom by turning her life story into art using self-expression and storytelling and offers that same opportunity through her storytelling classes, and forgiveness workshops.
My Brooklyn Hamlet is a real life Shakespearean tragedy in a modern day Brooklyn setting. The show is part family comedy, part Greek tragedy about love, family, betrayal murder and the awesome power of forgiveness. In 1995, Brenda’s mother was shot and killed by her father. Within months he married her aunt. This story contains the height of love and hate along with passion, denial, a healthy dose of humor and finally acceptance of what is.

The cost of tickets is $22.00 and can be purchased at http://scrippsranchtheatre.org/mybrooklynhamlet/.
