Hamlet // 23 Mar
Hamlet is Shakespeare’s most iconic work. Exploding with big ideas it is the ultimate play about loyalty,
love, betrayal, murder and madness. Every Hamlet is defined by the actor. In this stripped back, fresh and
fast-paced version, Maxine Peake creates a Hamlet for now. This is the filmed version of the Manchester’s
Royal Exchange’s 2014 production of Hamlet.
