Rising star Paapa Essiedu takes the title role in Shakespeare's great tragedy, live from the Bard's home town. Prince Hamlet has got it all. Studying abroad, he takes full advantage of his wealth and status to enjoy a hedonistic lifestyle. But his world collapses when he receives a message announcing his father's death and summoning him home to Denmark. Consumed by grief, he vows vengeance upon the man he holds responsible - his uncle Claudius, who has claimed both the throne and Hamlet's mother, Gertrude. Shakespeare's searing tale of deceit, mistrust and revenge is one of the Bard's most frequently staged plays. Simon Godwin, who made his RSC debut in 2014 with The Two Gentlemen of Verona, directs this new production at Stratford-upon-Avon. Taking the title role is Paapa Essiedu, who played the Duke of Burgundy in the National Theatre's production of King Lear, directed by Sam Mendes.
