National Theatre Live: Hamlet

Thu 22 Jan

by William Shakespeare 

directed by Robert Hastie

The National Theatre Live poster for 'Hamlet'. By William Shakespeare. Starring Hiran Abeysekera, who is wearing a collar ruff and a modern black suit, sat in red, plush theatre seats, looking directly at the camera and holding a skull.

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.
