Hamlet (outside theatre)

"Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t''.

  • 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...

With live music, audience interaction, brevity-boosting abridgements, comic turns and tragic twists there’s only one question: To be there, or to be square?

“If Shakespeare chose a modern company to perform his work then it would undoubtedly be The Pantaloons.” (NorthWestEnd.com) This is a Pantaloon's event staged by kind permission of the National Trust.
