Icarus Theatre Collective and Harrogate Theatre present the national tour of:
Hamlet: Prince of Denmark
Touring October 2010 – May 2011
Does revenge justify murder?
The spirit of a murdered king, the wrath of a vengeful son, and the turmoil
of Denmark in 1604. Shakespeare’s most iconic and challenging
play - arguably the world’s greatest dramatic work - tells the
tale of young Prince Hamlet avenging his father’s death and fighting
the new King who stole his throne.
He questions:
Do I murder the king now or wait for proof?
Are women constant and worthy or flippant and unfaithful?
Is life worth living?
To be or not to be…
Hamlet asks these questions as he struggles to find one moral absolute
in a murderous, corrupt world.
Condensed and using solely Shakespeare’s text, this will be a fresh,
kinetic, and above all accessible production, perfect for students and
adults alike to learn or re-visit the story. This is an ensemble play
which blends realism, physical theatre and a musical score.
Free programmes for school groups.
1 free teacher place with every 10 students
Running time: approx 2h30m
