SHAKESPEARE’S GLOBE PRESENTS
HAMLET
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Dominic Dromgoole and Bill Buckhurst
Designed by Jonathan Fensom
Composed by Bill Barclay
Original Music Laura Forrest-Hay
A Globe Theatre production of Hamlet (C) Bronwen Sharp
About Hamlet:
Learning of the king his father’s death, Hamlet comes home to find his uncle married to his mother and installed on the Danish throne. At night, the ghost of the old king demands that Hamlet avenge his “foul and most unnatural murder”.
Encompassing political intrigue and sexual obsession, philosophical reflection and violent action, tragic depth and wild humour, Hamlet is Shakespeare’s “poem unlimited”, a colossus in the story of the English language and the fullest expression of Shakespeare’s genius.
Lasting only two-and-a-half hours and touring to every country in the world over two years, a handful of travelling players will perform a raw, thrillingly elemental production of this inexhaustible play.
Looking forward to watch hamlet

It is working.
Excellent ….would love to see more shakespeare’s plays online !
We would love to do more such events. Please stay tuned.
It’s awesome watching the great work !
But the streaming is poor. Can i watch it at another time ?
I’m afraid they are on a world tour and we are only streaming the one performance. Thank you for your feedback about the streaming. We will take lessons from this experience.
I like the play but the live streaming is of very poor quality. No lip sync. Picture cuts often, voice also at times intermittent not clear. It is a disappointment!

It is only happening in Bangalore. The cast is on a World tour so they will only perform in one city in India.
It was great watching the performance live..
Thanks for arranging this and live streaming. (2nd half had a few interruption though in streaming, might issue with spped at my network)
Wonderful experience in spite of a few glitches! Thank you! Loved the whole performance! It was a great way to spend a Sunday evening……would have loved to see it in real life!
…but at least I was able to watch it while it played in Bangalore….Amazing! Thank you again!
I was lucky enought o catch the livestreaming just in time but if I had prior information so any of my students could have watched it as well. I have been to the Globe theatre in London and wathed a performance therein 2010. Today’s performance refreshed those memories and the passion and perfection of the Globe artists in today’s performance was same if not more in an alien environment. I really enjoyed the presentation. All who strived to bring to our hoes, need to be congratulated for this magnificient and commendable effort. Happy Journey to the Globe trotters of The GLOBE.
