News About HAMLET at Masque Theatre
Review: HAMLET at the Masque Theatre Is Innovative, Relevant and Compelling
May 13, 2025 I am continuously mesmerised by theatre-makers’ abilities to deliver fresh and novel adaptations of Shakespeare plays. This feminist, gender-swapping retelling of HAMLET is such an adaptation. It is sublime – one of the best shows I have ever seen at the Masque Theatre.About the Theatre
