After discovering that his show has been cancelled, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, takes to the stage one last time. He has prepared new material and hopes to persuade the audience to let him stay. Following the success of Juliet & Romeo, visionary British choreographer and director Ben Duke returns to the TST programme, transforming Shakespeare’s tragedy of identity crisis and revenge into an incisive exploration of masculinity, power and responsibility in the contemporary world. A fresh interpretation of Shakespeare in an unmistakable style that blends dance, theatre and humour.
