Hamlet
From its sell-out run at Manchester’s Royal Exchange Theatre comes a film version of this unique and critically acclaimed Hamlet, with BAFTA nominee Maxine Peake in the title role. This groundbreaking stage production, directed by Sarah Frankcom, was Royal Exchange’s fastest-selling show in a decade. Shakespeare’s most iconic work, Hamlet is the ultimate story of loyalty, love, betrayal, murder and madness. Hamlet’s father is dead and Denmark has crowned a new king. Consumed by grief, Hamlet struggles to exact revenge, with devastating consequences.
