Details

In royal Elsinore, the teenage Hamlet, Ophelia and Laertes rage against the roles handed down by their parents. Set a decade before the action in Shakespeare's Hamlet, this thrilling new play is a terrific first introduction to Shakespeare's anti-hero. A company of teenage actors drawn from the National Youth Theatre and a technical team from local FE colleges have been paired with experienced NT practitioners to produce this specially-commissioned new play. Running time: 60mins with no interval.
