“Ophelia, she’s ’neath the window
For her I feel so afraid”
BOB DYLAN
NNNN “A refreshing, immediate take on the world’s most famous play”, “you gain mood, energy and a rawness that’s missing from many traditional productions” – NOW Magazine (Read the review)
“The themes of the play emerge as true to our moment… questions of how to dismantle power structures and powerful people, and what it takes to do so…” – alt.theatre (Read the review)
Young Prince Hamlet seeks to avenge his father’s death in a world torn apart by political deception. Shakespeare’s best-known tragedy is re-imagined on the Tarragon stage through the powerful lens of rock and roll.
Approximate running time is 3 hours with one 15 minute intermission.
