Hamlet
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.
“the Hamlet performance was "out of this world". I have been a theatre fanatic since the age of 15 (I am now 82) and I will remember the Hamlet performance for as long as I live”
“Everyone now and again there is a moment that is a life changing moment. Having the honour of seeing this Hamlet was that moment!”
“Powerful, emotive ,thought provoking and at times so poignant I was close to tears. The performance was awe inspiring in fact outstanding.”
“Hamlet was deeply moving and wonderfully conceived and expertly produced. My family was touched and amazed!”
“Hamlet was a brilliant and moving experience. A total joy”
“An amazing experience. The actors were terrific as was the adaptation to hamlet. Once in life time experience. Would for sure recommend to all my friends"
