    - Sally Applegate, Wicked Local Beverly

  • Hamlet. A Version

    "Joy Hermalyn is an excellent Gertrude, conveying all of the necessary regality and fragility." 
    - Darryl Reilly, TheaterScene.net

    "Joy Hermalyn as Gertrude and Khris Lewin as Horatio stand out above the rest, and the scene between them, in which one cunningly manipulates the other to the edge of their comfortable lies, is masterful." 
    - Virginia Jiminez, Times Square Chronicles

    Joy Hermalyn in Hamlet. A Version

    Come see Joy play Gertrude in HAMLET. A VERSION. 

    Red Lab, in association with Roust Theatre Company, presents Boris Akunin’s HAMLET. A VERSION. This world premiere by the celebrated Georgian-born writer and dissident of Putin’s Russia, internationally famous for the cycle of fictional detective novels THE ADVENTURES OF ERAST FANDORIN, re-engineers Shakespeare’s classic tragedy in an ingeniously innovative vein.

    Set in a crumbling hierarchical empire, HAMLET. A VERSION shifts the usual focus from the iconic philosophical title character to the intrigue, opportunism, and political scheming of a burgeoning police state. This starkly realized new world order, insidiously ushered in by murderous and destabilizing tactics, provides a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘something is rotten in the state of Denmark.’

    When: April 21 - May 7

    Where: The Theatre at St. Clement's, 423 West 46th Street, New York City

About Joy

Joy has been singing, acting and attempting to dance for an extremely long time. Beginning at age 8 in her first role as the title character in Oliver! (apparently there were no actual boys in Teaneck, New Jersey), Joy has been trying to stay in show business ever since. She transitioned from child actor, to regular kid, to actor with a child thanks to her very supportive family. Joy loves musical theatre, opera, symphonic music, movies and a good rock concert equally. With credits ranging from Romper Room to Serpico to Fiddler on the Roof to The Crucible, Joy loves the life that chose her, though sometimes yearns for the stability her civilian friends enjoy. Well, only sometimes.
