National Theatre Live: Hamlet

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.

“Exactly the kind of Hamlet you would hope to see”  — Broadway World

“Abeysekera’s Hamlet is charming, cheeky and cunning.” — Upcoming

This production runs three hours with one intermission.
