Hamlet (Nu.ance Theatre)
About the show
Journey to cold, dark 1513 Denmark with Nu•ance Theatre Company’s intimate and immersive new take on Shakespeare's classic tragedy. More…
This mounting of 'Hamlet' remains true to the era and text of Shakespeare’s work, yet offers the unexpected element of ghostly apparitions that seek to heighten and illuminate this haunting story. Returning to the company's signature immersive staging technique (the union halls of Odets’, 'Waiting for Lefty,' the tenement apartment in 'Awake and Sing!'), Nu•ance once again offers a unique theatrical experience with audience members "cast" as the royal courtiers within Elsinore Castle, watching helpless as the tragic deeds unfold.
