Much cited as William Shakespeare’s greatest work, HAMLET centres on themes of death, betrayal, greed, murder and revenge. Often described as a typical “Revenge Play”, any careful study reveals it to be very much more. Does a good and purposeful life on earth triumph? Are vile and criminal acts always punished? Further, what is the purpose of our lives in the time we are given if decency has the same end as treachery? These questions are valid today – in our homes, our schools and among our leaders.

Think Theatre’s Hamlet received outstanding acclaim from audiences in 2017, at the Playhouse, Richard’s Bay, Port Shepstone and Northern KZN; as well as at the University of Johannesburg and the Brooklyn Theatre Pretoria.

Multi award winning director, writer, teacher and actress, Clare Mortimer, directs some of KZN’s finest actors to provide action packed performances which keep the audience enthralled... and help learners to understand and enjoy Shakespeare.

With her wealth of experience as a Matric English teacher (both in private and Government schools) Clare has cleverly kept the productions to a manageable 2 + hours, closely following all the relevant themes the learners need to know.

Audiences can be certain of complete productions, with full sets and costume, and the greatest of care given to the text. Expect to see a few familiar faces and some fresh ones in Hamlet 2018!
