Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Are you watching closely? A bold, darkly funny take on Shakespeare’s tragedy.

Trapped between duty and doubt, surrounded by power and privilege, young Prince Hamlet dares to ask the ultimate question – you know the one.

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

National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director, Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Operation Mincemeat) directs this sharp, stylish and darkly funny reimagining.

Hamlet opens in London in October 2025.

This is a screening of Hamlet, filmed at the National’s Lyttelton Theatre in November 2025.

Duration 3 hours (tbc).
