Details

Dance version of Shakespeare's tragedy. In this powerful new ballet, Hamlet's mind unravels against a backdrop of one of the most terrifying periods of the 20th century. As his world descends into chaos, he no longer knows who he can trust and the boundaries between real and imaginary become blurred in his mind. Renowned for its distinctive blend of ballet and theatre and with a strong reputation for telling stories through dance, Northern Ballet Theatre is ideally placed to bring the emotional impact of Shakespeare's tragedy to life.
