Hamlet: Prince of Sweden

Hamlet: Prince of Sweden

Nike Redding, Tom Corradini (Tom Corradini Teatro)Professional company

60 minutesStudio
Two actors spent months preparing a sumptuous premiere of Hamlet, but an accident has side-lined the rest of the cast on opening night. Refusing to cancel the play, the pair hurl themselves into the lion's den, attempting to perform Shakespeare’s most complex tragedy using nothing but their bodies and sheer desperation. What follows is a high-octane, physical theatre nightmare – a chaotic deconstruction that transforms the world's greatest tragedy into a comedy that feels dangerously, thrillingly alive.
