You're invited to attend opening night at the 2009 Blue Mountain Rose production of The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark. Richard James Aloysius Keane is a lion of the theater--and a weary man. His outdoor Elizabethan stage, the Blue Mountain Rose, lures theatergoers from around the world with its memorable productions. But after 40 years of service in all weathers, this grand "wooden O" in the Arizona mountains is showing its age. Tossed about by the financial storms of 2009, how will the Rose survive? Company manager Kate Morales believes in this dream of a great theater in a small town. Richard says he might close down the Rose and retire, but she just can't say goodbye. Kate has been Richard's loyal understudy for a decade. Is she ready to step into the leading role? When the unknown actor Peter Dunmore catches their attention with a star-worthy audition, Richard and Kate sense an opportunity. Maybe this "cross between Sir John Gielgud and the young Ken Branagh" can attract a new generation of fans with his powerful Hamlet. But Peter is haunted by a secret sorrow that could bring an end to all their dreams. As they try to save the Rose, Richard, Kate, and Peter must ask themselves questions worthy of a Shakespeare play. What does it mean to belong to a family? Who do we mourn, and why? And what does it cost to wear a crown?

Autorenporträt
Julie Hammonds fell in love with Hamlet during a high school trip to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and has nurtured her passion for Shakespeare ever since. She studied the plays in school, stage-managed The Winter's Tale and Much Ado About Nothing, and helped create the Flagstaff Shakespeare Festival. Her quest to complete the canon as an audience member has taken her from a community hall in Juneau, Alaska, to the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon. She has four plays to go. This is her first novel.
