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 Sarah Frankcom for Manchester's Royal Exchange Theatre, Maxine Peake (The Theory of Everything) creates a Hamlet that is both timeless and unique 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 forty years ago.
 
The Times calls HAMLET "a triumph of re-invention...intimate and intense" and "stunningly good," Moviemail said the unique stage play is "sensitive and snarling," and the Guardian Online calls it a "terrifically fast, fluent, attacking production."
