Hamlet Encore National Theatre Live

Following record-breaking attendances for the screenings of National Theatre Live's Hamlet world-wide and a sold-out show at Arena Theater, we will present an encore of Shakespeare's masterpiece with Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role. The screening will also include the complete interview with Cumberbatch.

Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC's Sherlock, The Imitation Game, Frankenstein at the National Theatre) takes on the title role of Shakespeare's great tragedy.
Directed by Lyndsey Turner (Posh, Chimerica) and produced by Sonia Friedman Productions.

Set in the Kingdom of Denmark, the play dramatizes the revenge Prince Hamlet is instructed to exact on his uncle Claudius, who murdered his own brother, Hamlet's father King Hamlet. Forced to avenge his father's death but paralyzed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state.
National Theatre Live announced that the October 15th live international broadcast of Hamlet was seen by over 225,000 people, making it the largest global audience for a live broadcast day of any title in National Theatre Live history.
