Outdoor theatre: Hamlet at Newark Park

An outdoor theatre performance of Hamlet by the Pantaloons on 30 August 2025

  • Booking essential

Join the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company as they put on a frantic disposition to tackle Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy in their own anarchic style.

When he discovers that his uncle has murdered his father, married his mother and traitorously taken the crown of Denmark there’s only one course of action for Hamlet: feign madness, frequently monologue and take swift revenge. But outrageous fortune has other plans for the poor Prince of Denmark…

So, with live music, audience interaction, brevity-boosting abridgements, comic turns and tragic twists in their production of Hamlet, there’s only one question: To be there, or to be square?

Please arrive in time for the performance to start at 6.30pm. As there is no seating available on the croquet lawn, we recommend you bring a picnic blanket to sit on. You're also welcome to bring your own camping chairs.
