About This Event
The Royal Shakespeare Company returns to York with a ‘must-see’ (Guardian) new production of
Hamlet
.
Hamlet’s mother has married his uncle, and at a less than decent interval since the death of his father. As he pulls at the threads of his not-so-happy new family, Hamlet unravels a web of deceit and immorality that leads to the ultimate crisis of conscience.
Fresh from its run in Stratford-upon-Avon, this ‘scintillating new staging’ (Financial Times) of Shakespeare’s famous revenge drama visits York Theatre Royal as part of a major national tour.
The stellar creative team is led by multi-award-winning director Rupert Goold whose recent work includes
Dear England
(National Theatre) and
King Charles III
(Almeida Theatre).
