Saturday, January 31, 7:30 p.m. & Sunday, February 1, 2:00 p.m. | Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Are you watching closely? Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera (LIFE OF PI) is Hamlet in this fearless, contemporary take on Shakespeare’s famous tragedy. Trapped between duty and doubt, surrounded by power and privilege, young Prince Hamlet dares to ask the ultimate question – you know the one. National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director, Robert Hastie (STANDING AT THE SKY’S EDGE, OPERATION MINCEMEAT) directs this sharp, stylish and darkly funny reimagining. (NTL)
