“I am interested in the idea of grief and loss as powerful creative forces that should not be shied away from. Your show exemplifies and embodies this concept in such a palpable way. I was captivated by your performance and your insistence on delving deeply into your experience.”

Each time I include Brenda Adelman’s play in one of our conferences I receive letters of gratitude, and praise …. From a place of vulnerability and trust Brenda performs her life story with clarity and strength. The play truly paints a poignant picture of triumph over tragedy. One can’t help but be coaxed from those fearful places into a place where forgiveness is the answer to redemption and love the anchor that sustains an open heart.

Dearest Brenda,
I just want to say, how impressed I was at your performance. You are the most electrifying person, on stage, that I have ever seen!
Your play was very compelling and it brought up a lot of issues in “my” life, that I thought I had dealt with. I thank you for that, because, I AM dealing with them now!
I hope we can stay in touch, because, I will get you into some schools, yet! I promise you that! Kids need to see this and learn about forgiveness and releasing things that will burden them later in life!
You are an inspiration, my dear and you need to be heard.
I wish you well in life and hope all good things come to pass. You deserve it my dear.
Warmest regards and Blessings,
Paula Khriste

“My Brooklyn Hamlet” brilliantly explores the complexity of emotional experiences and dynamics of living within the shadow of family violence. In her brave autobiographical play, Brenda Adelman masterfully intertwines humor and gravity, bringing to light the experience of moving from tragedy to forgiveness. As a therapist, I have personally recommended this show to clients because of the power it has to help heal and transform. For anyone who has ever felt alone in their experience of surviving trauma or toxic family relationships, this play can validate and affirm one’s experience of survival and offer the possibility of hope through forgiveness. Brenda herself is a true inspiration as one witnesses through the play her struggle to come to terms with her family trauma and sees Brenda today as an authentic, charismatic, compassionate woman who is clearly dedicated to helping others on their path to healing. “
“I so believe in the work that you do and the ability of your play to help people to heal.”
