Paula Scher’s shadowy composition for the Public Theater’s production of Hamlet that opened in December 1999, centers on a moody, close-up photograph of Live Schreiber as Hamlet, with cropped hair and in a black T-shirt; it reflects the theater’s mission to make even the most hallowed works in the dramatic canon relatable and accessible to young audiences. In 2023, Scher designed the posters for another production of Hamlet, part of the Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park festival.
