As part of a national tour with limited Welsh venue dates, Icarus Theatre Collective and Harrogate Theatre visit the Memo to present Hamlet, Shakespeare’s most iconic and challenging play and arguably the world’s greatest dramatic work, going for the jugular without hesitation. The spirit of a murdered king, the wrath of a vengeful son, and the turmoil of Denmark in 1604; consumed with grief, Prince Hamlet devotes himself to avenging his father’s death, with devastating consequences for his family and the Kingdom. A revenge thriller asking: Does revenge justify murder? Do I murder the king now or wait for proof? Is life worth living? To be or not to be... Hamlet asks these questions as he struggles to find one moral absolute in a murderous, corrupt world. Condensed and using solely Shakespeare’s text, this is a fresh, kinetic, and above all accessible production, perfect for students and adults alike to learn or re-visit the story. Blending traditional and physical theatre with a musical score, Icarus Theatre brings vividly to life some of literature’s most vibrant language and characters. Icarus Theatre Collective and Harrogate Theatre will be presenting Hamlet: Prince of Denmark on Monday 8 November at 7:30pm, tickets priced at £10.00 and £8.00 concessions.
