Hamlet – 23rd January 2026 7.30pm Doors Open 7.00pm Licensed Bar

Filmed live from the Lyttleton Theatre, this new interpretation of Hamlet has been described as ‘an active, pacy production that doesn’t pause for breath’.  Hamlet is portrayed by Hiran Abeysekera not as melancholic but as manic and impulsive, existing in a ‘posh, slick, morally bankrupt vision of a court that takes nothing seriously’.

A booking link and summary of extracts from critics’ reviews is available on the web site https://www.rvhall.online/cinema/

Broadway World - , ‘This is exactly the kind of Hamlet you would hope to see at The National Theatre. Challenging, entertaining, and compelling, it takes one of the most well-known plays in the English language and shows us something new.’

The Independent - ‘it does feel fitting that this Hamlet’s catharsis should come through laughter, not through mass murder. ……..in a theatre climate where showy, weighty revivals of Shakespeare with big stars and massive concepts are the norm, it’s a reminder that a lighter touch can be powerful, too.’

The Guardian – ‘Mills …steals the show with her astonishing portrayal of Ophelia’……….a well-put together, beautifully choreographed production but one with a frustrating emotional vacuum at its centre.’
