William Shakespeare’s Hamlet
How far to fight for justice? To kill? To die – or something more?
Snowglobe presents Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the classic tragedy of a reluctant revenge hero. Both exciting and sombre, it is a meditation on life and death, posing difficult questions that strike to the heart of our concerns today: What is the proper response to witnessing evil deeds? Should our pursuit of justice involve retribution? How can understanding others give us insight into why they do the things they do? Featuring some of Shakespeare’s most memorable characters, this riveting and humorous play impresses on us how hard it can be to do what’s right in a complicated world.
