The Royal Shakespeare Company returns to Nottingham with a ‘must-see’ (Guardian) new production of Hamlet.
Hamlet’s mother has married his uncle, and at a less than decent interval since the death of his father. As he pulls at the threads of his not-so-happy new family, Hamlet unravels a web of deceit and immorality that leads to the ultimate crisis of conscience.
Fresh from its run in Stratford-upon-Avon, this ‘scintillating new staging’ (Financial Times) of Shakespeare’s famous revenge drama visits the Theatre Royal as part of a major national tour.
The stellar creative team is led by multi-award-winning director Rupert Goold whose recent work includes Dear England (National Theatre) and King Charles III (Almeida Theatre).
Tour casting to be announced.
Cast and performance schedule subject to change without notice.
