‘Tremendous… Rory Kinnear’s performance is superb in its resonance and intelligence. This Hamlet is for now’ – The Times
Nicholas Hytner’s acclaimed production of HAMLET, with Rory Kinnear in the title role, continues the second season of NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE broadcasts to cinemas and performing arts venues around the world. Shakespeare’s play will be broadcast live to Theatr Mwldan from the National’s Olivier Theatre on 9 December at 6.45pm.
Following his celebrated performances at the National in Burnt by the Sun, The Revenger's Tragedy, Philistines and The Man of Mode, Rory Kinnear plays Hamlet; the cast also includes Clare Higgins (Gertrude), Patrick Malahide (Claudius), David Calder (Polonius), James Laurenson (Ghost/Player King) and Ruth Negga (Ophelia).
Hamlet, the prince of Denmark, sees his father’s ghost. Tormented with loathing and consumed by grief, he must avenge his father's murder. What he cannot foresee is the destruction that ensues.
‘A constantly compelling, fresh-minted production… Rory Kinnear captures the humanity, humour, pain and multi-layered complexity of the role’ – Daily Telegraph
NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE performances are filmed live in high definition and broadcast via satellite to over 300 cinemas around the world, live in Europe and some US cities, and time-delayed in countries further afield. There are over 75 venues in the UK alongside venues in the USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Scandinavia and Europe. The performances at the National are nominated in advance to allow cameras greater freedom in the auditorium.
