Does revenge justify murder?

The King of Denmark is dead. Consumed with grief, Prince Hamlet devotes himself to avenging his father’s death with devastating consequences for his family and the Kingdom.
The spirit of a murdered king, the wrath of a vengeful son, and the turmoil of Denmark in 1601. 

Shakespeare's most iconic and challenging play - arguably the world’s greatest dramatic work - tells the tale of young Prince Hamlet avenging his father’s death and confronting his uncle, the new King who stole his throne.

Cutting the original text down to around two and a half hours, Icarus Theatre Collective brings vividly to life some of literature's most vibrant language and characters. This brand new production portrays Shakespeare's definitive tragedy of justice and revenge.

Free programmes for school groups.

NOTE FOR SCHOOL GROUPS:
Icarus Theatre will be hosting a school workshop before the show, each workshop lasts 90 minutes and will be led by an experienced workshop leader and a member of the Hamlet cast.
