Time is out of joint.
Whilst the outside world swings on into the 1960s, a young writer must visit once again the warped, surreal and archaic Elsinore of his remembrance, and the ghosts that walk there.
With elements of short film, this production explores grief and the loss of youth (its innocence and its freedom) through the lens of memory. When faced with a future in a world that seems unbearable and perverse, now do we live, and how can love endure?
In an unweeded garden possessed only by things rank and gross in nature, what flowers can grow?
Unable to bear what lies ahead, Horatio seeks out deliverance in the haunted halls of his past.
Drawing inspiration from across the 20th century, this production anchors Shakespeare's transcendent explorations of loss in living memory. 'The Graduate', Simon and Garfunkel, and 'Withnail and I' collide with Victorian ghost stories, Pre Raphaelite dreamy nostalgia, and post modern medievalism in this part-film-part-play meditation on what it means to live and love in spite of the harshest circumstances.
