A Two Woman Hamlet 12/12/2025 DescriptionThis event is in the process of being set up and is not yet available for booking. Friday 12th December: Dress Performance (UoB Students and Staff Only), 6:15PM Please note tickets are available to book until the day before (11th December) the event. - It's Hamlet, but not as you know it. Two women (and a skull) take on Shakespeare's well-known tragedy in just 60 minutes, in a spectacularly fun and surprisingly moving theatrical event. Mara Sherman, who directed the original production in 2018, describes her motivation as not just giving women an opportunity to play great roles such as Hamlet and Claudius, but giving these characters the opportunity to be played by women. Following the critical success of past productions at the Capital Fringe (Washington, DC, 2018) and Edinburgh Fringe (2022), we developed a fresh take on this fun, fast-paced, and irreverent adaptation for a sold-out run at Colchester's Lakeside Theatre in March 2025. We're thrilled to be bringing the show to the Wickham after touring to Camden Fringe and Colchester Fringe earlier this year! 'This is the Hamlet I have been waiting for my entire life'. - Lakeside Theatre audience member We recommend that this show appropriate for ages 14+ Follow us @twowomanhamlet
