Hamstrung

‘A one-hour riot of a play, perfect for any evening of theatre that you need.’ Broadway World ★★★★★

Alas, poor Yorick! Though he's not dead...

Hamlet's legendary jester is back to dig up the bones of his misspent life in this ‘stirring and impactful’ resurrection of Shakespeare's greatest tragedy.

Yorick is waiting in the wings. Hovering somewhere between life and death, he must figure out why he’s been summoned and what the audience want from him, all while keeping the flame of laughter alive.

After discovering Elsinore through a mysterious door, he sets out to bring the spark of theatrical joy back to the traumatised Danish court, reconnecting with his lost love of performance whilst leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.

Join him and find out what really happened in Elsinore all those years ago.
