Hamlet edited by Tarell Alvin McCraney and Bijan Sheibani.
Hamlet is a young man on the edge. His father's death was suspicious and his mother has hastily married his uncle, the man he suspects of murdering his father. Trapped in the claustrophobic court of Elsinore he must discover the truth and decide if he has a right to avenge his father.
RSC/CAPITAL International Playwright in Residence Tarell Alvin McCraney directs a new version of Hamlet. Edited by Tarell and Bijan Sheibani specifically for younger audiences, the production follows the success of Young People's Shakespeare The Comedy of Errors in 2009.
Hamlet will tour to schools in London in early 2010 before joining the repertoire in The Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon from 1 May 2010.

"Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton hit the West End in Sweeney Todd as the deliciously demonic double act, this show really is a cut above the rest."
