‘The play’s the thing’
Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi) takes on the role of Hamlet in this bold, contemporary reimagining of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy. Caught between duty and doubt, and navigating a world of power and privilege, young Prince Hamlet confronts the ultimate question—the one we all know. Directed by National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Operation Mincemeat), this production is a sharp, stylish, and darkly witty retelling of the timeless story.
