For each of them, the stage is a platform to express their grief and trauma through the famous question, “to be or not to be,” a dilemma that applies to their own lives. The protagonists fight against disappointment, powerlessness, and anger, trying to put their lives back in order while processing their painful past: SLAVIK, who went through a hell of war and captivity as a soldier, KATYA, who longs for her mother’s forgiveness for joining the army, RODION, who escaped from Donbas and is now facing growing homophobia, ROMAN, who is still struggling with the traumatic memories of his war experience as a paramedic on the battlefield, and Oxana who struggles on an artistic frontline as an actress. The rehearsals for the play are combined with an intense glimpse into the characters' lives: a powerful portrait of a generation coping with the trauma of war which, after Russia's invasion, is now their present and future alike.NotesDuration: 85 minThe film will start promptly at 7pm without trailersThe Grassmarket Community Project is a wheelchair accessible venue - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/edinburgh/the-hamlet-syndrome-2022/100001995306200558 - **Event Categories**: art, theatre, entertainment, festivals - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Grassmarket Community Project - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Edinburgh - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Grassmarket Community Project - **lat**: 55.94761279999999 - **long**: -3.1936759000000166 - **full address**: Grassmarket Community Project, 86 Candlemaker Row, Edinburgh, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Hamlet Syndrome (2022) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/63eea6614f30b832381749ad8c7ebbab43f9e5355791c04a32ae33bf3f090e3f-rimg-w700-h460-dc181611-gmir.jpg?v=1785386884 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Hamlet Syndrome (2022) being held? - **A:** The Hamlet Syndrome (2022) takes place on Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Grassmarket Community Project, 86 Candlemaker Row, Edinburgh, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Hamlet Syndrome (2022)? - **A:** The Hamlet Syndrome (2022) is organized by Grassmarket Picture House (Community Cinema). - **Q**: Who is this event for?
