Bell Shakespeare To Bring Hamlet To Melbourne

Off the back of directing the critically acclaimed Green Room and Sydney Theatre Award winning Henry V for Bell Shakespeare in 2014, Damien Ryan will deliver a new production of the classic story.

Hamlet, having to deal with the sudden death of his father and shocked when his mother quickly remarries his uncle, is a mass of contradictions and a modern anti-hero. He is at once vulgar, a misogynist and cruel while being overwhelmed by insecurities and indecision. Challenging how fragile our ideals of family, love, community, loyalty, faithfulness and the courage to act can be.
