The King of Denmark is dead. His brother Claudius has married the widowed queen and now sits on the throne. Hamlet Prince of Denmark is sworn to revenge his father's foul and most unnatural murder.

Shakespeare wrote to be heard.


Victorian Theatre Company and Melbourne Shakespeare Company present Hamlet: A Radio Play. Featuring some of Melbourne's most celebrated classical actors, this production takes the listener deep into a sonic world of language, music and atmosphere.

''This production in five, downloadable acts, is deftly directed by Kurtis Lowden''

''...CONNELL'S voice is honeyed and warm, subtly and intimately seeps into our ears. We can almost feel his breath on our cheek''

''...MENZIES' Ghost has gravitas and a sonorous resonance that almost send shivers down our spines''

 

KATE HERBERT

''The composition, audio production and recording by Thomas Kunz is faultless.''

''EMILY GODDARD as Ophelia finds the juxtaposition between her youthful vibrance and decent into grief and madness with ease''

''I found myself completely entranced by ROBERT MENZIES''

''MATTHEW CONNELL... manages to capture and engrossing naivety in the titular character... draws the audience into the mental anguish of the young prince''
