YOUNG PEOPLE'S SHAKESPEARE
HAMLET IS A YOUNG MAN ON THE EDGE.
His father’s death was suspicious and his mother has hastily married his uncle, the man he suspects of murdering his father. Trapped in the claustrophobic court of Elsinore he must discover the truth and decide if he has a right to avenge his father. RSC/CAPITAL International Playwright in Residence Tarell Alvin McCraney directs a new version of Hamlet, with members of the current Ensemble. Edited by Tarell and Bijan Sheibani specifically for younger audiences, the production follows the success of Young People’s Shakespeare The Comedy of Errors in 2009. Hamlet will tour to schools around Newcastle before coming to Newcastle Theatre Royal for two performances only.
Tickets: Ages 25 and under £5, Ages 26 and over £10.
