Icke’s extraordinary skill at pulling Shakespearean language into the present makes this Hamlet a revelation not to be missed.
The Evening Standard describes Icke’s interpretations of classic plays as “unapologetically audacious, yet they have a rigorous logic. Here the tone is conversational rather than declamatory.” With visceral, fast-paced, and powerful staging and the cross-cutting effects of movies and TV, Icke’s Hamlet is vividly brought to the stage by the critically acclaimed and multi-award winning creative team behind the director’s productions of 1984 and Oresteia.
★★★★★ “Robert Icke’s production of Hamlet remains extraordinarily,heartbreakingly beautiful.”—Time Out (London)
