NT Live | Hamlet

Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera, acclaimed for his lead role in Life of Pi, stars as Hamlet in a fearless and contemporary reimagining of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy.

Directed by National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director Robert Hastie, the visionary behind Standing at the Sky’s Edge and Operation Mincemeat, this production finds a young prince trapped by duty and privilege as he confronts the ultimate questions of existence.

Sharp, stylish and darkly funny, this bold staging breathes fresh life into the classic tale of doubt and power.
