Shakespeare 4 Kidz Hamlet - UK tour now on |

SOMETHING IS ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF DENMARK
Prince Hamlet has returned home to attend his father’s funeral… and his mother’s sudden marriage to his Uncle Claudius, who has now become king! So when Hamlet meets the ghost of his dead father, he sets out upon a mysterious story of murder, intrigue and revenge – all the time trying to prove once and for all that his uncle is the murderer.
Our brand new musical theatre adaptation of HAMLET commences an eight month long UK tour in September.

Using our new website you can involve your students before and after the theatre visit to review each episode of the story, including:
Secondary school students of all ability levels will find S4K’s clear, powerful and entertaining story-telling style a highly useful introduction to the story and an ideal first stepping stone to further study of the original play.
