In this stripped-back, fresh and fast-paced version, Maxine Peake creates a Hamlet for now, giving a performance hailed as, “delicately ferocious” by The Guardian and, “a milestone Hamlet” by the Manchester Evening News. Hamlet explodes with ideas and is the ultimate story of loyalty, love, betrayal, murder and madness.

Top quality British traditional music is to be expected from Steeleye Span’s legendary fiddle player but Gigspanner’s music style flirts with Eastern European, French, Cajun, African and even Aboriginal influences. Peter has accrued a lifetimes worth of accolades across a career spanning two folk revivals and his musicianship is further enhanced here by the flawless playing of Roger Flack on guitar and Vincent Salzfaas on congas and djembe.
