Mark Twain wrote: “There are five kinds of actresses: bad actresses, fair actresses, good actresses, great actresses. And then there is Sarah Bernhardt.” At the turn of the 20th century, Sarah Bernhardt tackles her most ambitious role yet: the tragic Prince of Denmark. But is society ready for a female Hamlet? Faced with almost insurmountable odds, Bernhardt must decide to be or not to be…true to herself and the role of a lifetime.
