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.

This screening is aimed specifically at GCSE and A-Level students studying Shakespeare as part of their school work. The screening will start at 10:30am, with a lunch break from 12:30 to 1:00pm, and will finish around 2:30pm. The play runs for approximately 3½ hours, so the lunch break is included to give students time to rest.
