‘To be or not to be…’

A ghostly encounter reveals a dreadful deed has been done. Should Hamlet take revenge?
‘That is the question.’
Join us over the Easter holidays for this energetic and engaging retelling of Shakespeare’s most well-known tragedy. Suitable for ages 8 – 12.
SYNOPSIS:
Prince Hamlet, son of Denmark’s late king, is horrified – and placed in a moral quandary – by the apparition of his father’s ghost. This spectre claims to have been murdered by the brother who now wears his crown – and who, having married the widowed queen, is now not only Hamlet’s uncle but also his stepfather. The ghost demands vengeance, but can it be trusted? And can the taking of a life ever be justified? Can this troubled family tolerate any further loss?
