A 'joyous, playful and defiant' ★★★★★ (The Stage) reimagining of Hamlet from Peruvian theatre company Teatro La Plaza.

Following a sell-out run at Edinburgh International Festival last year, this vibrant production weaves original text with stories from the actors lives in a mesmerising blend of drama, comedy and music.

Inspired by the famous monologue, 'To be or not to be', a remarkable cast of actors with Down syndrome breathe new life into Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, fearlessly and joyfully challenging prejudice and celebrating community.

Performed in Spanish with English surtitles.
