Hamlet

A joyful and enigmatic reinvention of Shakespeare's tragedy that explores what it's like to 'be' in a world that often excludes you, performed by a powerful cast of actors with Down's Syndrome.

Inspired by the famous monologue 'To Be or Not To Be', this thought-provoking reinvention of the 16th-century play challenges societal prejudices and discrimination, highlighting the importance of community.

Told with playfulness, humour and fighting spirit, Chela De Ferrari's enchanting production weaves together traditional text with personal anecdotes from each of the eight performers, telling their stories through compelling words, impressive choreography and spirited outbursts of rap.

Peruvian theatre company Teatro La Plaza has a history of producing work that questions and surprises their audiences. Known for pushing boundaries and creating bold new versions of Shakespearean dramas, this production of Hamlet stays true to the spirit of the original while finding new meaning in the 21st-century.
