Those of you who are devoted readers will remember I mentioned a bit of Oregon Shakespeare Festival casting gossip I couldn’t relay. Well, OSF sent out this bit today to its members:

Well, let’s start with the juicy stuff. If you haven’t heard yet, two roles for the 2010 season have already been cast. The title role of Hamlet, running all season in the Angus Bowmer Theatre, will be played by Dan Donohue. And the role of the overbearing but somehow endearing mother in Lisa Kron’s Well will be played by Dee Maaske. Well will run in the New Theatre from late February – mid-June 2010.

Thank goodness! I can finally talk about this and the first thing I have to say is…OMG! Dan Donohue as Hamlet! I’m all a-flutter with joy. What awesome casting news! And Dee is amazing, too. It’s going to be good.
