Description
It is 400 years since Shakespeare's death and to commemorate The Lowry Theatre is putting on a variety of shows related to him. Radio presenter and theatre director Hywel Evans is visiting and testing these shows for you, whilst getting the reaction from some of the audience. For his final Shakespeare trip it's one of the greats - Hamlet. A co-production between Shakespeare at the Tobacco Factory and Tobacco Factory Theatres. The most famous play in world drama, Hamlet turns a new face to every decade. So many elements - political, madness, sex, murder – all brought together in a drama that is both a thriller and the profoundest meditation on our human condition.
