I Knew Him Well.

After firming their flag in the UK singles chart for the first half of the aughts, electroclash performance duo Fischerspooner is currently making a name for themselves in the most unlikely of circles: Off Broadway classical theatre.

It just so happens that band partner Casey Spooner is a long time experimental theatre performer, making the Athens, Georgia native a dovetail fit for the critically acclaimed Wooster Group, a tech heavy SOHO (by way of R.I.) based repertory company where luminaries such as Spalding Gray first found a home. The company's lauded production of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, which stars Spooner in four(!) different roles has just been extended through December 2nd at Astor Place's Public Theater, mere feet from the Starbucks at which he and Warren Fischer debuted their group nine years ago.

The much lauded production itself employs an ingenious conceit: a precise live re-staging of director John Gielgud's 1964 Broadway run of the classic (starring Richard Burton in the titular role) performed in front of a massive video projection of- what else: that very same 1964 production. Featuring four new compositions by Warren Fischer, tickets for the show are $50, with $25 student seats and limited $20 rush tickets available. Purchase can be made online at the Public Theater box office, and make sure to hit up two nifty remixes of Fischerspooner's breakthrough single "Emerge" below.
