Kupenga Kwa HAMLET

Kupenga Kwa Hamlet

In association with Two Gents Productions

Wed 13 Oct 2010 - Sat 06 Nov 2010

Like no other Hamlet you’ve seen before!

Having bewitched audiences last autumn, this remarkable Zimbabwean company returns with its own unique Hamlet. Using just a few props, the two remarkable actors play all the roles, telling the story in ‘township’ style with a simplicity that is filled with imagination. Both thought provoking and humorous, Hamlet looks at themes of family relationships and power set against a backdrop of life in a transitional society.

Shakespeare’s masterpiece is brought to life with an irreverent energy that will captivate you from the start.

This production will tour to village halls, arts centres and regional theatres from 13 October to 6 November.  To book a performance at your venue please contact Caro MacKay on 01386 853206 or email caro.mackay@hotmail.co.uk
