A remarkable solo Hamlet from Horatio’s Point of View!
Shakespeare’s classic tale of madness, murder and betrayal with an incredible performance, brilliant original music AND Sir Derek Jacobi as Old Hamlet! Something is very right in the state of Denmark!
Adapted and directed by the Maverick Theatre Company’s Nick Hennegan - who also adapted and directs Guy Masterson’s acclaimed 'A Christmas Carol' and Shakespeare’s other great masterpiece, 'Henry V - Lion of England’. A must see theatre event.
"Solo Hamlets seem to pop up almost every year in Edinburgh but this particularly professional hour still impresses... under Hennegan's direction, the story thrills once again in one of those Edinburgh shows that fully meets expectations and should prove very popular." Phillip Fisher - British Theatre Guide
