Like no other Hamlet you’ve seen before!

Having bewitched audiences last autumn, this remarkable Zimbabwean company returns with its own unique Hamlet. Using just a few props, the two remarkable actors play all the roles, telling the story in ‘township’ style with a simplicity that is filled with imagination. Both thought provoking and humorous, Hamlet looks at themes of family relationships and power set against a backdrop of life in a transitional society.

Shakespeare’s masterpiece is brought to life with an irreverent energy that will captivate you from the start.
