Shakespeare: Hamlet
The heart of the 75th season
Former Artistic Director Des McAnuff returns to direct Shakespeare's great tragedy, moving the story to postwar Europe, where a grieving prince's search for the truth about his father's death draws him into a world of surveillance, deception and revenge. Opening night falls on July 13, the anniversary of the Festival's very first performance in 1953.
