Hamlet
Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi ) is Hamlet in this fearless, contemporary take on Shakespeare’s famous tragedy.
Trapped between duty and doubt, surrounded by power and privilege, young Prince Hamlet dares to ask the ultimate question – you know the one.
National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Operation Mincemeat ) directs this sharp, stylish and darkly funny reimagining.
Run time: 3 hours (with 15 minute intermission).
Content Advisory: Features themes of grief, death, suicide, and coercive behavior. The play also includes intense scenes of violence, depictions of madness, and strong language.
