"Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t!”
Join the critically-acclaimed Pantaloons Theatre Company as they put on a frantic disposition to tackle Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy in their own anarchic style.
When he discovers that his uncle has murdered his father, married his mother and traitorously taken the crown of Denmark there’s only one course of action for Hamlet: feign madness, frequently monologue and take swift revenge. But outrageous fortune has other plans for the poor Prince of Denmark...
With live music, audience interaction, brevity-boosting abridgements, comic turns and tragic twists there’s only one question: To be there, or to be square?
“If Shakespeare chose a modern company to perform his work then it would undoubtedly be The Pantaloons.” (North West End)
The Pantaloons
The Pantaloons are a young and dynamic theatre company comprising graduates of Kent University. They aim to recapture an aspect of drama which modern naturalistic theatre has lost: the riotous energy of the clown. Tapping into this rich vein of anarchic humour can have a strangely moving and uplifting effect and it also reminds us that we are all simply participants in a game of make-believe. Their productions are entertaining, accessible and intelligent productions of classical texts for audiences, whatever their level of familiarity with such works. 'Part alternative rock band, part thespian, part performance art, the result is wholly charming' (The Times).
