Hamlet

e-book


New adaptation of 'Hamlet' for a modern black theatrical production.

Remember meā€¦ 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 fatherā€™s decaying legacy, Hamlet now faces the greatest moral challenge ā€“ to kill or not to kill. Directed by Jeffery Kissoon (RSC, National Theatre, Robert Lepage, Peter Hall and in Peter Brookā€™s seminal production of The Mahabharata) and adapted with Shakespeareā€™s text by award-winning playwright Mark Norfolk, this fast-moving version gets straight to the heart of a young manā€™s dilemma. This first all-black production of Hamlet in Britain makes a striking contribution to the Shakespeare 400 anniversary celebration. For ages 12+
