Who Played Ophelia in Hamlet

Ophelia is a role in Hamlet, a play that opened West End in 2017.

After last year's rather successful run of Shakespeare's infamous tragedy starring one of his Sherlock castmates, Olivier and BAFTA winner Andrew Scott takes on the troubled Danish prince in this brand new production for the Almeida, directed by Robert Icke, with Juliet Stevenson as his beleaguered mother Gertrude. One of Shakespeare's best-known tragedies, the play is set in Denmark where the title character plans his revenge against the uncle who murdered his father, before usurping the throne for himself and marrying his mother. After a period of self-imposed exile, the dispossessed prince makes his return from the shadows, consumed by grief and a lust for revenge against the man who betrayed him, ready to give everything to get it.
