‘The play’s the thing’Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Are you watching closely?
Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi ) is Hamlet in this fearless, contemporary take on Shakespeare’s famous tragedy. Trapped between duty and doubt, surrounded by power and privilege, young Prince Hamlet dares to ask the ultimate question – you know the one. National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Operation Mincemeat ) directs this sharp, stylish and darkly funny reimagining.
Filmed at the National Theatre in London.
National Theatre Live brings the best of the British stage to cinemas around the world. The plays are filmed in front of a live theater audience, but optimized for the big screen, so it is the next best thing to being there. The actors on stage deliver their performances as they normally would any other night, but to make sure everyone watching in a cinema has the best seat in the house, the position of the cameras is tailored to capture each production. Filmmakers work closely with technical teams to make sure every element on stage such as lighting, hair and make-up look fantastic on the big screen.
