Director Anya Kapoor brings a visceral new production of Hamlet to Northfield Theatre this spring, setting the action in a crumbling modernist palace where surveillance cameras line every corridor and trust has become the rarest currency.
Fresh from his Olivier Award-nominated turn in The Lehman Trilogy, Marcus Okonkwo takes on the role of the Danish prince in a performance already generating enormous anticipation. Joining him are RSC veteran Eleanor Harding as Gertrude and newcomer Priya Mehta as Ophelia, whose West End debut last year earned her a Critics' Circle nomination.
This production asks urgent questions about power, duty, and the paralysing weight of grief. With a haunting original score performed live by a four-piece ensemble and Rosie Elnile's transformative set design, this Hamlet promises to be unlike any you've seen before.
Running time approximately 3 hours including one interval.
