About Hamlet

Join The Lord Chamberlain’s Men this summer, in their 20th year, for arguably the greatest play in the English language, Hamlet. With a history stretching back to William Shakespeare’s original company, they present this great play as he first saw it – in the open air with an all-male cast and Elizabethan costumes, music and dance.

Thrilling, moving and deeply human, this stunning play seeks answers to life’s biggest questions and, in doing so, holds up a mirror to all our natures.

Bring a chair and a picnic and prepare to be entertained and transported. Book early to avoid missing out.
