Hamlet -NT Live

Trapped between duty and doubt, surrounded by power and privilege, young Prince Hamlet dares to ask the ultimate question – you know the one.

National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Operation Mincemeat) directs this sharp, stylish and darkly funny reimagining.

In this fearless, contemporary take on Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi) is Hamlet and Francesca Mills, who won the Ian Charleson Award in 2024, is Ophelia.
