Hamlet: Prince of Sweden is a high-octane physical theatre show from Nike Redding and Tom Corradini (Tom Corradini Teatro), performed in a Studio venue as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Two actors prepared for a full Hamlet production, but an accident has sidelined the rest of the cast on opening night. Rather than cancel, the pair attempt to perform Shakespeare's most complex tragedy using nothing but their bodies and sheer desperation. The result is a chaotic deconstruction that transforms the world's greatest tragedy into a comedy. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for those aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A genuinely exciting theatrical concept — two performers trying to stage an entire Hamlet alone, in desperation. The physical comedy and the urgency of the situation make for gripping, funny and thrillingly alive theatre.
