Hamlet - Ad Lib Outdoor Theatre

About

Ad Lib theatre are bringing Shakespeare to the grounds of Northwood House this June in an open-air production of Hamlet that is sure to delight Shakespeare enthusiasts and newcomers alike!

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark…

The recently-widowed Queen Gertrude is marrying her dead husband's brother, Claudius, while her son, Hamlet, looks on with melancholy, powerless – or so he thinks. The arrival of Hamlet's best friend, Horatio, with news about his father, soon sets our prince on a journey of revenge, love, madness, piracy, betrayal and wonder, with far-reaching consequences for all.

Unexpectedly funny, undeniably heart-wrenching, and packed with action and wit, this is an incarnation of Shakespeare's most famous tragedy not to be missed.

The play is being performed on June 23, 24 and 25, with the gates opening at 5:30pm and the show starting at 6:30pm each evening. Tickets are £8 for entry alone, or £12.50 for entry and a drink, and are available from Northwood House on 01983 293642 or at www.northwoodhouse.org/events.

So bring a chair, pack a picnic, and join Ad Lib theatre at the Court of Elsinore this summer!
