Waiting for Hamlet

Foxlowe Arts Centre · Leek

'Waiting for Hamlet' takes audiences beyond the scenes of Shakespeare’s iconic tragedy, exploring the untold story of the Old King and his court jester, Yorick. Arriving in the afterlife, the King finds himself poisoned, furious and determined to exact revenge - but only Yorick stands in his way. This is a battle of wits between two fools – and only one of them knows he’s a fool. A tale of love, loss, legacy and letting go… and yes, hats play a surprisingly important role. Comedy meets tragedy in a bold, irreverent prequel that both honours and subverts the greatest play ever written
