Photos: First Look at Hiran Abeysekera in HAMLET at BAM

You can now get a first look at at BAM’s Harvey Theater, now playing for a strictly limited engagement that must close Sunday, May 17, 2026.

Kicking off a new multi-year partnership between BAM and The National Theatre of Great Britain, National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director Robert Hastie (Operation Mincemeat) brings his witty, fearlessly contemporary HAMLET to US audiences this spring. A bold reimagining packed with sharp humor, this is a HAMLET that feels impossible to forget.

The production features Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera as Hamlet, joined by Maureen Beattie as First Player, Joe Bolland as Guildenstern, Matthew Cottle as Polonius, Tim Dewberry as Marcellus/Captain, Ayesha Dharker as Gertrude, Ryan Ellsworth as Ghost/Player King/First Gravedigger, Tom Glenister as Laertes, Mary Higgins as Osric/Voltemand, Liz Jadav as Nurse/Priest, Kiren Kebaili-Dwyer as Fortinbras, Hari MacKinnon as Rosecrantz, Francesca Mills as Ophelia, Sophia Papadopoulos as Cornelius/English Ambassador/Second Gravedigger, Alistair Petrie as Claudius, Seb Slade as Francisco/Reynaldo, Noel White as Bernardo and Tessa Wong as Horatio.
