Hamlet

New adaptation of 'Hamlet' for a modern black theatrical production.Remember me Denmark, a Black Empire of modern England, where an intelligent young student discovers the world he once knew has crumbled. Implored to defend what is left of his father s decaying legacy, Hamlet now faces the greatest moral challenge to kill or not to kill. Directed by Jeffery Kissoon (RSC, National Theatre, Robert Lepage, Peter Hall and in Peter Brook s seminal production of The Mahabharata) and adapted with Shakespeare s text by award-winning playwright Mark Norfolk, this fast-moving version gets straight to the heart of a young man s dilemma. This first all-black production of Hamlet in Britain makes a striking contribution to the Shakespeare 400 anniversary celebration. For ages 12+
