An electrifying reimagining of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, set in the world of a British South Asian family in contemporary London.
Hamlet returns to London for the funeral of his father, but he is shocked when his uncle, Claudius, announces that he’s marrying Hamlet’s just-widowed mother.
After seeing his father’s ghost, who says he was murdered by Claudius, Hamlet becomes consumed by rage and revenge. He goes to violent lengths to avenge his father’s murder, questioning not only his role in the family business, but his own sanity.
