## Resource

The Producing Artistic Director of The Acting Company joins The Roundtable to discuss reimagining Shakespeare’s legendary tragedy for a new generation and why Hamlet still speaks to audiences today. The Roundtable with Robert Bannon welcomes Devin Brain, the Producing Artistic Director of The Acting Company, to talk all about their exciting new production of Hamlet. A Yale School of Drama graduate and longtime creative force within the company, Devin has helped shape The Acting Company’s national tours and productions for over a decade while championing bold, accessible storytelling rooted in classical theater. We discuss bringing Shakespeare into a modern conversation, balancing tradition with accessibility, and how this production of Hamlet is connecting with contemporary audiences and students across the country. Devin also shares insight into the company’s mission, the importance of keeping live theater thriving, and why Shakespeare’s themes of grief, ambition, family, and identity remain as powerful as ever.
