Hamlet
presented by Winchester Players
18 Aug 2025 - 21 Aug 2025
Who’s there? … There's something rotten in the state of Denmark... To be or not to be... Alas, poor Yorick... The readiness is all... The rest is silence.
This Hamlet is cut down to 140 minutes, while remaining a veritable dictionary of coinages and quotations. The play will be performed in an indeterminate modern era - a first for the Winchester Players - and the production promises careful attention to the text, a score of sound effects and original music, and a focus on the dark humour in Shakespeare's most famous tragedy.
