Hamlet: The Comedy
Hamlet The Comedy finds the eponymous royal student returning home for the summer holidays, only to find that something’s rotten in the state of Denmark and it’s more than just the bag of dirty washing! Mum’s married Uncle Claudius and Dad’s dishing the dirt from his grave – it’s enough to make a teenager mad! Things will never be the same again in the Hamlet household.
Shakespeare’s famous tragedy is performed as you’ve never seen it before, with lots of laughs, music, and memorable moments. Suitable for all from 7 – 107!
“Oddsocks excels in an entertaining show which succeeds as both farce and a perfect introduction to Shakespeare.” – The Stage
