Hamlet – National Theatre

HamletWe will be showing the National Theatre’s 2010 broadcast of Hamlet at 7.00pm, Tuesday 22nd October 2013. Please note that this date is now sold out.

The National Theatre opened its doors at its original home in the Old Vic on 22 October 1963 with a production of Hamlet directed by Laurence Olivier and featuring Peter O’Toole in the title role – hence the timing of this encore screening.

Following his celebrated performances at the National Theatre in The Last of the Haussmans, Burnt by the SunThe Revenger’sTragedyPhilistines and The Man of Mode, Rory Kinnear plays Hamlet in a dynamic new production of Shakespeare’s complex and profound play about the human condition, directed by Nicholas Hytner.

He is joined by Clare Higgins (Gertrude), Patrick Malahide (Claudius), David Calder (Polonius), James Laurenson (Ghost/Player King) and Ruth Negga (Ophelia).

‘Tremendous. Rory Kinnear’s performance is superb in its resonance and intelligence. This is a Hamlet for now.’ The Times 

‘Rory Kinnear excels. An evening to admire and cherish.’ The Guardian

‘A chilling production that demands to be seen.’ The Independent
