Theatrikos is proud to present our third collaboration with National Theatre Live, bringing the globally acclaimed stage production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet directly to our screen! Witness Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange, Sherlock) deliver a monumental performance as the tormented Prince of Denmark. This visually stunning and emotionally charged production, captured live from the Barbican, promises an unparalleled cinematic experience of one of the most iconic roles in theatre history.

Stargazer Collaborative Theatre Presents: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.

Following up on the NT Live screening, delve deeper into the existential questions surrounding Hamlet with our friends at Stargazer Collaborative Theatre and their brilliant production of Tom Stoppard’s modern classic, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. This ingenious tragicomedy flips Shakespeare’s narrative on its head, placing Hamlet’s two bewildered minor characters center stage. As they stumble through the periphery of the main action, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern grapple with their own identities, purpose, and the bewildering events unfolding around them. Stoppard’s witty dialogue and philosophical musings provide a hilarious and poignant companion piece to Hamlet itself.

Performances run through June 8.
