Hamlet

Shakespeare’s tale of psychological turmoil and familial destruction is brought vividly to life in this Black Theatre Live production, in association with Watford Palace Theatre and Stratford Circus Arts Centre. Captured live at Tara Theatre in south London, this production marked the first time an all-black cast presented Shakespeare’s classic tragedy in the UK. The seminal performance is followed by a Q&A session with director Jeffery Kissoon and Jatinder Verma MBE, Artistic Director of Tara Arts.
