Alice Silverman Theatre
Hamlet
by William Shakespeare
directed by Robert Hastie
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.
Presented by National Theatre Live.
Live-filmed recording shown in HD in the Alice Silverman Theatre, Newport Performing Arts Center.
MID-WEEK MAGIC! Enjoy the very best of British theatre in stunning HD on select Wednesday evenings at the Newport Performing Arts Center.
