As part of the commemoration of the 400th anniversary anniversary of the death of Shakespeare his most famous play is coming to Ingatestone Hall later this month.
The Festival Players Theatre Company – which has been touring professional outdoor Shakespeare productions for over 30 years – is bringing Hamlet to Essex as part of a mammoth tour across the UK and into Europe, and I found out more this morning when I chatted with its Director, Michael Dyer.
Michael explained that it’s not just performing al fresco that makes the company’s performances unusual, and he said he expects their crystal-clear and fast-paced 2 hour production of this great thriller will appeal to a much wider audience than aficianados of the Bard.
Hamlet is being performed at Ingatestone Hall on Monday 13th June at 7pm; for tickets – which are £15 for adults and £13 for concessions – visit the website or call 01277 353010.
