About this Event
First staged in 2015, PurpleDoor's Hamlet was a sell-out smash hit, garnering five stars across the board for its radical reinterpretation of Shakespeare's most famous play. Revived now as part of PurpleDoor's 18th birthday celebrations, a whole new cast take on this titanic play, relocated to 1980s Liverpool, with Nanci Bennett stepping into the title role. Presented in tandem with Twelfth Night, don't miss this revival of our landmark production, with an incredible ensemble of rising North West talent.
