“To be, or not to be, that is the question.” Award-winning theatre company New International Encounter present the most famous play in the world. A family drama of revenge, justice, and moral dilemmas—reimagined for young audiences. With just two actors, one musician, seven props, and a suitcase, Shakespeare’s most famous play is brought to life in a funny, fast-paced, and accessible way. Combining Shakespearean verse, contemporary language, and inventive staging, this 60-minute bitesize retelling is packed with excitement, humour, and grief in equal measure. An original soundtrack, live music, and sound effects add to the experience, making it perfect for schools and family audiences. Join us for a roller-coaster journey through one of the greatest stories ever told.
“Hugely enjoyable and accessible version of Hamlet…the small ensemble cast brought to life numerous characters with help from some surprising props. Who knew so much comedy was contained in this well-known tragedy?” – Joanne Grey. Partnerships, Project and Funding Manager, Cambridgeshire County Council.
Suitable for family audiences, ages eight and above.
Hosted by Anglia Ruskin University at the Mumford Theatre. Please visit our Eventbrite site for the full details.
