Hamlet - 2017 - West End History , Info & More

Almeida Theatre
Almeida St, The Angel, London N1 1TA, United Kingdom London

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.

Review: RE-MEMBER ME, Hampstead Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - Jun 1, 2023


Athletes have the Olympics. Chefs have Michelin stars. Actors have Hamlet. Citius, altius, fortius, Danish. In his one-man show Re-member Me (co-devised and directed by Jan Willem Van Den Bosch), Dickie Beau ponders death, mortality and legacy but not in a morbid way; it’s less a shoegazing mope and mumble about whether “to be or not to be”, more a defiant exploration of what it is “to be and not to be”.
