# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Hamlet - National Theatre Live (filmed theatre)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 15 Feb, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: We close out our National Theatre Live season with what may be the most famous Shakespeare play of them all, Hamlet. 

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Are you watching closely? Trapped between duty and doubt, surrounded by power and privilege, young Prince Hamlet dares to ask the ultimate question – you know the one.

Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera (The Father and the Assassin, Life of Pi) is Hamlet in this fearless, contemporary take on Shakespeare’s famous tragedy.

National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director, Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Operation Mincemeat) directs this sharp, stylish and darkly funny reimagining.

** Please note that this is a screening of a filmed National Theatre production.
