Fee code H This prelude to Shakespeare's most famous tragedy imagines Hamlet as a restless teenager frustrated by the limits of his role and furious at his father's warmongering ways.

It premiered at the National Theatre in 2010 as part of the NT Discover Programme.

"...a top-notch 50 minutes ... I could happily have sat through a piece twice this length and so, it transpired, could the school students watching enrapt alongside me." Fiona Mountford, Evening Standard "...superb ... breathtakingly eloquent ... shockingly funny." Nancy Groves, Whatsonstage.com
