Following a sell-out world premiere season, three stars of Australian stage and screen – Brendan Cowell, Ewen Leslie, and Toby Schmitz – reunite for a night of poetry, pith and play in Hamlet Camp.
Through an intimate, self-help slaughterhouse session of soliloquies, swords and sublime word play, the play wrestles with the conundrum that being cast as the Danish Prince (the most sought-after role in theatre history) is both a blessing and a lifelong curse.
Prepare for an evening of laughs, tears and bewilderment as Cowell, Leslie and Schmitz lay bare an actor’s life of friendship, passion, cruelty, glory and chaos.
1hr 30min. No Interval.
