Directed by Simon Evans (Staged - BBC) and David Aula at the Park Theatre, London in 2017, this is an experimental Hamlet stripped to its core. Three actors. 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 Shakespeare’s most famous play, performed by a unique cast.
