Hamlet, 1603

A grieving son; a father’s ghost; a mother’s untimely remarriage: Shakespeare’s tragedy of Hamlet has long been among his best-known and most-celebrated plays. But before the familiar tale of delayed revenge, long scenes, and introspective speeches came Shakespeare’s earlier, younger, and much faster version. A (old) new take on the play audiences think they know, Hamlet, 1603 offers a rare opportunity to experience the exciting first draft of Shakespeare’s most famous work.
