Who said Shakespeare was boring?
Shakespeare 4 Kidz, the award-winning theatre company famous for
easy-to-understand fun-filled musical adaptations of the Bard’s
classics, are back in the UAE with their hit show ‘Shakespeare 4 Kidz
Hamlet’. The aim of this educational play, which is adapted to attract
younger audiences, is to introduce school children from diverse
backgrounds to the astonishing world of such a great writer.
Hamlet is not just the most famous play ever written, it is also filled
with famous quotes and sayings that have been absorbed into modern day
English language such as, “To be or not to be” or “Neither a borrower
nor a lender be”.
This high energy play offers the chance for everyone to be introduced
to Hamlet - so whether you are young, old or have never visited the
theatre before, the ‘Shakespeare 4 Kidz Hamlet’ is the perfect
introduction to the world’s most famous playwright.
HAMLET IN A NUTSHELL
Prince Hamlet has returned home to attend his father’s funeral - and
his mother’s 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 - even pretending to
be mad - all the time trying to prove once and for all that his uncle
is the murderer.
