Hamlet and Ophelia are depressed. Or is it Antoinette? Sarah Kane meets Brecht meets Adult Swim in this failed but brutally earnest attempt to perform Shakespeare’s classic.
Post-dramatic, metatheatrical and downright phantasmagorical, our performers slip in and out of Shakespeare’s famous text whilst simultaneously taking the piss and fervently attempting to get things right. Featuring fantasy, pop sing-a-longs and a paper shredder, this is Hamlet unlike you’ve ever seen it before.
