This is an abridged version of Hamlet specifically for young people and families and is the perfect introduction to Shakespeare for all ages. Hamlet is a young man on the edge. His father’s death was suspicious and his mother has hastily married his uncle, the man he suspects of murdering his father. Trapped in the claustrophobic court of Elsinore, he must discover the truth and decide if he has a right to avenge his father. The matinee performance is for schools only, but the evening performance is open to all. Running time: 1hr 10mins
