Cumberbatch's strikingly eloquent Hamlet keeps his head while dazzling Elsinore falls apart in an evening of fitful illumination.” –The Guardian

In this much-awaited production, Benedict Cumberbatch (BBC’s Sherlock, The Imitation Game) takes on the title role of Shakespeare’s great tragedy. As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. 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. 180m
