Hamlet

by William Shakespeare

O, that this too too solid flesh would melt

Rory Kinnear as Hamlet

Shakespeare's HAMLET, directed by Nicholas Hytner, will be broadcast from the National's Olivier Theatre.  Following his celebrated performances at the National in Burnt by the Sun, The Revenger's Tragedy, Philistines and The Man of Mode, Rory Kinnear plays Hamlet; the cast also includes Clare Higgins (Gertrude), Patrick Malahide (Claudius), David Calder (Polonius), James Laurenson (Ghost/Player King) and Ruth Negga (Ophelia). Hamlet, the prince of Denmark, sees his father's ghost. Tormented with loathing and consumed by grief, he must avenge his father's murder. What he cannot foresee is the destruction that ensues.
