"To be, or not to be, that is the question." Award-winning theatre company New International Encounter present the most famous play in the world. A family drama of revenge, justice, and moral dilemmas—reimagined for young audiences. With just two actors, one musician, seven props, and a suitcase, Shakespeare’s most famous play is brought to life in a funny, fast-paced, and accessible way.

An original soundtrack, live music, and sound effects add to the experience, making it perfect for schools and family audiences. Join us for a roller-coaster journey through one of the greatest stories ever told.
