Ivy Hamlet Brothel ❤️❤️❤️❤️

About Chicago

I’m picturing it now—dim lights, smoky air, me snarking, “This joint’s a petri dish!” Research brain’s buzzing—could study STI rates, mental health stats, economic impacts—goldmine! But also, ew, the sleaze factor? Over 9000. Exaggerating? Maybe. Don’t care. “I can see Russia from my house!”—and brothels too, apparently. They’re everywhere if you squint. Carol’d hate the tacky decor, probs—too classy for velvet curtains.

Production History

The “Get thee to a nunnery” quote by Hamlet is indeed a reference to a brothel but Hamlet does not mean that he truly believes Ophelia has been unfaithful.

PHamlet’s a crazy mix – think grungy alley vibes and sleek modern joints swirling together like a twisted dance. Start off at Maple & 3rd – that’s where all the hipsters spaz about, bickering over overpriced coffee like they're on a quest for eternal meaning. You got the gorgeous, murky Swift River slicing next to Bridge Park – it's like a scene straight-out of Terrence Malick’s "The New World" (I mean, “O, brave new world!”). Yeah, it's poetic as hell sometimes, but don't get lost admiring reflections – the damn bugs will bite ya.
