Hamlet’s mother has married his uncle, and at a less than decent interval since the death of his father.
As he pulls at the threads of his not-so-happy new family, Hamlet unravels a web of deceit and immorality that leads to the ultimate crisis of conscience.
Our ‘must-see’ (Guardian) new production of Hamlet is heading to theatres around the UK on a major national tour in 2026.
Following its critically acclaimed run in Stratford-upon-Avon, this ‘scintillating new staging’ (Financial Times) of Shakespeare’s famous revenge drama will thrill audiences between February and April 2026, beginning at Hall for Cornwall and ending at the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury.
The stellar creative team is led by multi-award-winning director Rupert Goold, whose recent work includes Dear England (National Theatre) and King Charles III (Almeida Theatre).
Tour cast is yet to be announced.
