  • Hamlet tour 2012

 

On Tour
7 June - 2 September


Learning of the king his father’s death, Hamlet comes home to find his uncle married to his mother and installed on the Danish throne. At night, the ghost of the old king demands that Hamlet avenge his ‘foul and most unnatural murder’.


Hamlet encompasses political intrigue and sexual obsession, philosophical reflection and violent action, tragic depth and wild humour.


Using an Elizabethan-inspired stage, a handful of energetic players will perform a raw, thrillingly elemental production of this inexhaustible play and will visit beautiful and inspiring settings across the UK and Europe with this scaled-down production.

REVIEWS FROM HAMLET ON TOUR, 2011


The Independent * * * *
"A thrilling performance for Dominic Dromgoole's wonderfully engrossing touring production ... The whole production has a disarming honesty".


The Guardian
"This is a cut about the average piece of picnic Shakespeare, which sends up its simple, but often ingenious, two-planks-and-a-passion-style staging and is driven by a wild humour that suggests madness and laughter are close companions ... a driving, unfussy account of a great play".


Financial Times
"A slick and engaging production, cleverly tuned to outdoor touring locations".
