Hamlet’s mother has married his uncle, and at a less than decent interval too. As he pulls at the threads of his not-so-happy new family, Hamlet unravels a web of deceit and immorality that leads to the ultimate crisis of conscience.

Fresh from its run in Stratford-upon-Avon, this gripping production of Shakespeare’s famous revenge drama visits Canterbury as part of a major national tour.

Ralph Davis (RSC’s Tamburlaine, Timon of Athens, Richard III and King John) will play the role of Hamlet.

The stellar creative team is led by multi-award-winning director Rupert Goold whose recent work includes Dear England (National Theatre) and King Charles III (Almeida). Rupert has directed multiple celebrated productions at the RSC and in 2026, he will take up the post of Artistic Director at London’s Old Vic in 2026.
