About the Show

Sean Holmes' candlelit production of Shakespeare's tragedy.

Prince Hamlet is shocked that his mother has married his uncle so soon after the death of his father, the King. And when his father’s ghost reveals a dark secret, Hamlet's focus shifts to exacting revenge.

In a world of surveillance and counter-surveillance, no one – including Hamlet – knows quite who or what to believe.

Slow, Overrated, Quirky, Disappointing, Confusing

See it if You like watching Shakespeare and want to see a modernised version. You want to check out the venue.

Don't see it if You get bored easily or you don’t already know the story. I was confused and bored and left in the interval unfortunately.
