Overview
Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi) is Hamlet in this fearless, contemporary take on Shakespeareâs famous tragedy. Trapped between duty and doubt, surrounded by power and privilege, young Prince Hamlet dares to ask the ultimate questionâyou know the one. National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director, Robert Hastie (Standing at the Skyâs Edge, Operation Mincemeat) directs this sharp, stylish and darkly funny reimagining.
