Rochelle Denton has left us here on earth;
No ten syllables can capture her worth.
Her int’rest and support touched ev’ry one
Of us downtown thespians and her son.
We’ll picture her making coffee above,
As she did for us: with a lot of love.

Gorilla Rep hereby surrenders its Federal non-profit status as its productions of UBU IS KING! and all of its Shakespeare and other celebrated and award-winning works should rightly strike the terror of free though and expression into the fascist regime’s hearts and they may therfore deem us to be a terrorist organization. We stand in solidarity with all NFP’s threatened by the fascist regime.

An interesting article on Shakespeare performance and a chance to write about your fav Gorilla Rep show if you like:

We will always need the works of the Bard, especially in moments of conflict and unrest.

HAMLET soft launch Chapter 2. I think this is the first operational Phoneflicks movie rental page (movies for your phone in your favorite social-media-style frame), and it headlines Hamlet. I think. That's the theory. Take a look:

To be honest, I've made a hash of releasing Hamlet. Yet it is still a film full of incredible performances and I want the story we told together out there. So call this a soft launch (?). The feature film of HAMLET starring Henry Shikongo that won awards including one at Cannes can be viewed in its entirety on YouTube as of 11PM Thursday May 30 2024. Link in comments.
