MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG<\/a>) \u2014 Hamlet is known by actors as one of Shakespeare\u2019s most challenging plays, but one local student took it head on, and one step further.<\/p>\n

Davidson High School senior Sariah Hossain has been involved in local theatre for a few years and one day had what she called \u201ca crazy idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was thinking it would be really cool if we could do a production of Hamlet, but Hamlet is four hours long,\u201d Hossain recalled.<\/p>\n

The play requires much stamina and emotional range from the actors performing it, so much that even Hossain\u2019s teacher thought it was out of reach.<\/p>\n

\u201cSariah was a student of mine at an actor\u2019s studio a couple of years ago,\u201d Director Eric Browne explained. \u201cI remember her coming to me and saying, \u2018I really love Shakespeare, and I wish we did more of that in the community.\u2019 Then she said, \u2018I want to do a production of Hamlet, and I want to play Hamlet,\u2019 and I\u2019m going, \u2018Well sure kid. Keep dreaming.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Some things, though, are just meant \u201cto be.\u201d Hossain dreamed up her own nonprofit organization that gives young aspiring actors, like herself, the opportunity to take center stage in productions like Hamlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the two years, I\u2019ve spent time trying to get people to be interested in maybe directing, acting, cutting the script, and giving us a space to work at,\u201d Hossain said.<\/p>\n

All of her hard work paid off this weekend as Invictus Artists\u2019 Guild debuted its first production. It was the play that sparked the idea, Hamlet, and the main character was played by none other than the girl whose dream started it all.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike imagine three years ago seeing a 14-year-old me with this crazy pipe dream about having a theatre company and putting on Hamlet which is literally Shakespeare\u2019s longest play, playing Hamlet,\u201d Hossain said. \u201cIt sounds insane, but you start with what you have in reach.\u201d<\/p>\n
