Hamlet On-Screen

THE BEST OF BRITISH THEATRE ON THE LPCA SCREEN

“The play’s the thing.”

Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera (National Theatre’s Life of Pi) is Hamlet in this fearless, contemporary take on Shakespeare’s famous tragedy.


Captured live from the National Theatre.

By William Shakespeare

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.
