Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi) is Hamlet in National Theatre Live’s fearless, contemporary take on Shakespeare’s famous tragedy that can be seen on the Torch Theatre screen this January. Awarded five stars by Broadway World, Hamlet might have been written over 400 years ago, but it still remains one of the most relevant plays of our time.

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.

Described as ‘This is exactly the kind of Hamlet you would hope to see’ by Broadway World and ‘Abeysekera’s Hamlet is charming, cheeky and cunning’ by Upcoming, NT Live: Hamlet is a must for Shakespeare fans with its intricate plot and complex characters.

NT Live: Hamlet can be seen on the Torch Theatre screen on Thursday 29 Jan at 7pm. Ticket price: Price: £15.00 | £13.00 Cons | £8.50 Under 26 £10 | £8 Cons. For further information visit the Torch Theatre website www.torchtheatre.co.uk / phone the Box Office on (01646) 695267 or click here.
