About this event

Madness, revenge and the supernatural:聽Hamlet聽remains one of the most well-known of all Shakespeare plays for good reason. This powerful tale of vengeance and insanity still retains the power to thrill audiences everywhere. Blending tension, pathos and poetry,聽Hamlet聽remains as exciting and relevant to modern audiences as ever.

The ghost of the King of Denmark tells his son聽Hamlet聽to avenge his murder by killing the new聽king,聽Hamlet's uncle.聽Hamlet聽feigns madness, contemplates life and death, and seeks revenge. His uncle, fearing for his life, also devises plots to kill聽Hamlet. The tension rises, culminating in a聽fateful duel between聽Hamlet聽and Laertes, a duel whose outcome leads to tragedy for all.

Actors From The London Stage celebrates its 50th anniversary with a triumphant return to one聽of Shakespeare鈥檚 most iconic titles. Each member of this self-directed ensemble portrays multiple roles while favoring minimal props and costumes, creating a theatrical experience like聽no other.
