“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.”
Join The Lord Chamberlain’s Men this summer, in their 20th year, for Hamlet, arguably the greatest play in the English language.
Returning home from university for his father, the King of Denmark’s funeral, which is also the occasion of his mother’s remarriage to his uncle, Hamlet the Prince, is visited by the ghost of his father. The ghost reveals that his brother, Hamlet’s uncle, now stepfather and King, killed him and he urges Hamlet to take revenge. Driven to distraction by the grief of his father’s death and what lies ahead of him, Hamlet is forced to confront his deepest fears and in doing so questions himself, those around him and the very nature of existence.
Doors open at 18.00 for a 19.00 start. The performance running time is approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes including a 15-minute interval.
You are welcome to bring your own picnic blankets, picnics and chairs. Chairs will not be provided. Please note, this performance will take place regardless of wet weather.
