Hamlet - One hour. Three actors. Denmark will never be the same.
Presented by thejomarsh
Set in a high-tech dystopian future, this one-hour adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet explores the mental health impacts of grief, trauma and a life lived on screen.
From Zoom calls to security cameras, Hamlet’s every move is watched. As we explore his thought distortions, we’re left to wonder, is it still paranoia when everyone is a threat?
Proudly supported by Wellington City Council
Director Jo Marsh says, “This adapted version of Hamlet will bring audiences into a world of surveillance, deception and lies."
“The world now is so reliant on technology that attending classes, meetings and events, through a tiny screen in our hand, are now the norm. This instant connectedness can be both a blessing and a curse.”
