Rapture Theatre Company in association with Greenwich Theatre in London present a new and exciting production of:
Hamlet by William Shakespeare
Rapture Theatre will be touring an innovative new production of Shakespeare’s great tragedy.
Rapture, one of Scotland’s most exciting theatre companies, will be presenting a special Celtic take on this legendary play.
Set in the contemporary Glasgow underworld, Rapture’s production will combine Shakespeare’s text with a modern take on this powerful classic.
Hamlet is caught between the idealistic world of his university and the world of terror and death that his criminal family represent. When his father dies and his ghost confronts him, Hamlet has to choose between family lies and world truths, the past and the future, life and death.
Hamlet, the original young rebel, is a story that will reach across the generations.
Modern music, innovative iconography and faithfulness to this great play, will make Rapture’s production an unmissable event for fans of the bard from 12 years old to 102 years old
Rapture has previously toured major plays by Arthur Miller, David Mamet, Joe Penhall and Neil Simon.
Rapture will be organising workshops and post show discussions alongside the show.
We are due to open the show in Greenwich Theatre on Thursday 4th February 2010 and run there until Saturday 13th February 2010.
We are keen to discuss with venues, possible performances when we tour this show in February/March and early April 2010.
