Waiting for Hamlet

Murder. Mischief. And a battle of fools. What happens before “To be or not to be”…?

Waiting For Hamlet is a dazzling Shakespearean comedy by David Visick, performed by Nicholas Collett and Tim Marriott. This ingenious prequel imagines the Old King Hamlet arriving in the afterlife… only to discover he’s been poisoned. Murder most foul.

There he meets his old court jester, Yorick, and what follows is a razor-sharp battle of wits between two fools… though only one of them knows he’s a fool. If you love Hamlet, you’ll adore this bold, hilarious reimagining.

Winner – Kenneth Branagh Award for New Writing; Best Actor Awards, Edinburgh Festival
