Hamlet
This joyous and defiant ★★★★★ (The Stage) reimagining breathes new life into Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy. Following a sell-out run at the Edinburgh International Festival, Teatro La Plaza’s bold and vibrant take on the classic tragedy now arrives in London.
Told with playfulness, humour and fighting spirit, Chela De Ferrari's critically acclaimed production weaves together the original text with personal reflections from the cast and dynamic choreography, exploring what it’s like to ‘be’ in a world that often excludes you.
Inspired by 'To Be or Not To Be' and performed by an extraordinary cast of actors with Down syndrome, this Hamlet is a fearless challenge to exclusion and prejudice, celebrating community and resilience.
Peruvian theatre company Teatro La Plaza is known for works that push the boundaries, such as their insightful new versions of Shakespearean dramas, which question and surprise their audiences.
