A THRILLING reimagining of Shakespeare’s Hamlet is promised at the Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield on January 17.

The “pulsating” interpretation of the famous play is a critically-acclaimed production from Icarus Theatre Collective.

The King of Denmark is dead, and consumed with grief, Prince Hamlet devotes himself to avenging his father’s death with devastating consequences for his family and the kingdom.

The spirit of a murdered king, the wrath of a vengeful son, and the turmoil of Denmark in 1601, is portrayed in Shakespeare’s iconic and challenging play.

Blending traditional and physical theatre with a musical score, this muscular production aims to vividly bring to life some of literature’s most vibrant language and characters in a way audiences have never seen before.

The “bold, exciting, and action-packed” production is described as Shakespeare for the Game of Thrones generation.

Launched in 2004, Icarus Theatre Collective has been described as one of the most fearless and dynamic theatre companies in the UK; with a reputation for punchy and vibrant productions of contemporary and classic theatre.

The Lawrence Batley Theatre hosts Opera Della Luna’s Tales Of Offenbach, described as a night of two crazy operas on February 9.
