Shakespeare’s greatest play told via rewritten pop bangers, skull puppets, rap numbers and line dancing!Claudius has killed Hamlet’s dad, married his mum, and seized his throne - what’s an angsty royal teen to do? Hold onto your ruffs as we take you on a laugh-a-minute whirlwind tour of the Danish tragedy... with a little help from Frank Sinatra and Britney Spears, the Killers and Kanye West, ABBA, Queen, and Wicked!Retelling the tale entirely through extremely silly, re-lyriced versions of all your favourite pop and West End songs, Bristol Shakespeare Festival is proud to welcome back our debut show, revamped for 2026 with all-new songs and suspiciously tatty re-used props!At last, after centuries of waiting, Shakespeare’s greatest play is finally being told as he always intended it: with skull puppets, rap numbers, and line dancing!Contains comic violence.
