National Theatre Collection: Hamlet

This National Theatre Production was filmed for the National Theatre Archive in November 2022. ‘To be or not to be…’ Hamlet’s dad is dead. His uncle has taken over the kingdom and married Hamlet’s mum. The whole world feels like it’s turned upside down. A ghostly encounter reveals a dreadful deed has been done. Should Hamlet take revenge? ‘That is the question.’ Join us for this energetic and engaging retelling of Shakespeare’s most well-known tragedy.

Directed by Tinuke Craig, National Theatre Collection: Hamlet leans on a strong ensemble — Curtis Callier, David Ahmad, Kiren Kebaili-Dwyer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2022.
