PLoT Theatre Society celebrates the Bard’s 450th birthday with their production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Its popularity has endured the ages, its language, themes and questions a constant companion to each generation of actors and audiences. Directed by society regular Tai Gardner, this intimate production is stripped-down and fast paced, its focus firmly upon the troubled prince of Denmark. A tale of murder, madness and revenge exploring the burden of uncertainty in a timeless setting.
"...excellent casting and intriguing direction" -Gemma Burgess, Togatus
"...an oddly surrealist- perhaps even nihilist- feel" -Amber Wilson, TasTimes
