Hamlet

'Hamlet rages and blows across the stage, a Gollum on ecstasy, a mama’s boy, spoiled brat, an exploding nerd, who takes his feigned madness so far that it becomes his undoing.' - Süddeutsche Zeitung  

If you think you've seen Hamlet, think again.

This most-quoted of plays is pushed to the extreme in the long-awaited Sydney debut of one of the world's great theatre houses, Berlin's Schaubühne.

Director Thomas Ostermeier's audacious production finds new human revelations and fresh political insights in the centuries-old story of Denmark's corrupt court - a system that has become a paranoid maze for Hamlet. Murder, betrayal, manipulation and sexuality are just some of the weapons he uses in his fight to preserve power.
