Synopsis

Shakespeare's most iconic work. HAMLET is the ultimate play about loyalty, love, betrayal, murder and madness. Every production is defined by its lead actor. In this stripped back, fresh and fast-paced staging by Sara Frankcom for the Royal Exchange Theater, Maxine Peake (THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING) creates a Hamlet that is both timeless and uinique for today. Though the part has a long history of being performed by women, Peake is the first female actor to be cast in a major production since Frances de la Tour assumed the role for forty years ago.
