Shakespeare on speed!

Hamlet is mad. His father is dead. His mother has quickly remarried. Out for revenge, he must first decipher a matrix of secrets and lies … Utilising an innovative stage design that evokes a “film edit” style to create a vivid atmosphere of spying and deception, the result is a dizzyingly urgent portrayal of a young man’s descent into madness. 90 minutes and 3 performers – Hamlet sped up and slimmed down!
