Hamlet @ Park Theatre

By William Shakespeare Directed by Simon Evans Script edited by Imogen Bond Cast includes: Benet Brandreth, Gyles Brandreth and Kosha Engler Directed by Simon Evans (Arturo Ui Donmar Warehouse, A Midsummer Nights Dream Southwark Playhouse, The Dazzle and Bug Found 111), this is Hamlet stripped to its core and played by three members of one family: Gyles Brandreth, Benet Brandreth, Kosha Engler father, son and wife. A family gathering, haunted, claustrophobic, intense. With a running time of 90 minutes, this Hamlet blasts through our expectations of a familiar text offering a unique take on Shakespeares most famous play, performed by a unique cast. Praise for Simon Evans: "Simon Evans directs with a pitch-perfect blend of rigour and piercing tenderness." The Telegraph ★★★★ Riveting. The Observer ★★★★★ Exquisitely calibrated production. Daily Mail ★★★★★ "You emerge feeling as if you've seen something special because, actually, you have." The Times ★★★★
