Hamlet

24th October 2024 at 7:30 pm - 26th October 2024 at 7:30 pm

£12.00

Holton Players in a thrilling production of one of Shakespeare’s greatest dramas.

‘Hamlet’ has enchanted audiences for generations. A mystery play, a revenge thriller, the play is full of intrigue and excitement.

Summoned to avenge his father’s death Hamlet
delays; he plots and schemes – while others plot and scheme as well.
As for the noble Prince himself, the questions Hamlet asks about life and mankind are
as relevant today as in Shakespeare’s time. For, as his friend Ben Jonson wrote,

‘He was not of an age, but for all time!”

With a cracking cast of experienced amateurs and professionals, the show takes place in the recently refurbished space of St Mary’s Church.

We are very fortunate that on Thursday evening, Emma Smith, Professor of Shakespeare Studies at Oxford University, fellow of Hertford College, Oxford, and one of very finest Shakespeare scholars in the world today, will be giving a short talk before the play begins. She has
done extensive academic work on the First Folio. Emma is on the board of the Royal Shakespeare Company and was the Sam Wanamaker Fellow at Shakespeare’s Globe. She is the author of This Is Shakespeare and has a podcast series, which emerged from her Oxford University lectures, called Approaching Shakespeare
