A one-woman ‘Hamlet’

One of Shakespeare’s most famous plays is coming to the Pioneer Valley – with a cast of one.

Actress and producer Hilary Dennis will perform her one-woman “Hamlet” adaptation, “Sweet Prince,” in The Workroom at 33 Hawley on Friday, Feb. 21, at 8 p.m., and Saturday, Feb. 22, at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.

The 60-minute show “reimagines the relationship between audience and performer while challenging the idea of ‘doing the right thing,’” according to a press release. The show, likewise, is about “empowering people to step into their own bravery and to take action to tell a whole story.”

The event description says that besides being “kind of” a “one-woman Hamlet,” the show is “also an experiment. A game. Ready to play?”

The show is not recommended for children under 12.

Tickets are $23.18 (including fees) via Eventbrite.

Masquerade ball-themed drag performance

Drag artist Andrew Curran, otherwise known by his drag name, “Magnolia Masquerade,” will host a drag performance, “Masquerade Ball,” at Marigold Theater in Easthampton on Wednesday, Feb. 26, at 8 p.m.

The adults-only show, part of the monthly show series Curran produces at Marigold, features Magnolia as she deals with an identity crisis: according to one of Curran’s Instagram posts, “It gets hard to remember herself after wearing so many masks over the years. Luckily, all of her past personalities remind her she can throw her annual Masquerade Ball to reconnect with her truth. And the murders that ensue are truly no mystery— because Magnolia Masquerade is involved, of course!”

There will be “dancing, pop hits, and maybe some poisoned cake.”

Tickets are $15 via marigoldtheater.com.

Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival

The 32nd Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival kicked off at Amherst Cinema yesterday with a screening of “Borderland | The Line Within,” a movie about immigration at the southern border of the U.S., but the rest of its screenings, organized around the theme “Documenting Dissent,” will be between now and Saturday, April 26.

The next screening, held on Wednesday, Feb. 26, at 6:30 p.m. in Isenberg SOM 137 at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, will be a double feature. The two movies are “Pouring Water on Troubled Oil,” a 26-minute film (in English) based on poet Dylan Thomas’ experience visiting Iran to write the script for a promotional film for the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, with voice-over from “Good Omens” actor Michael Sheen; and “Life at the Stream,” a 30-minute film (in German, with English subtitles) about a barge driver whose community deals with environmental devastation.

The screening will also feature a Q&A with “Pouring Water on Troubled Oil” director Nariman Massoumi after the movie.
