Why See Hamlet?

PlaysShakespeare

Something is rotten in the state of denmark

The intimate surrounds of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse host The Dane for the first time ever with this candlelit production of Hamlet, presented by Associate Artistic Director Sean Holmes and the fantastic Globe ensemble. Follow the titular Danish Prince as his life descends into a heady tale of grief, betrayal, and bloody revenge.

One of the most quotable plays in English, Hamlet lends itself to great study, with Shakespeare's beautiful language, there is always something new to be discovered in this dark and intricate work.

What is it about?

After learning of his father's death, Prince Hamlet is disgusted to discover his uncle has married his mother and installed himself on the Danish throne. After being visited by the ghost of the old king, Hamlet sets out to regain his rightful place and avenge his father's murder.

Packed full of political intrigue, violence, philosophy, and self-discovery Hamlet is the king of the English language and literary canon as well as showing the full breadth and depth of Shakespeare's genius.
