The Rialto Theatre in Limassol will screen National Theatre Live’s acclaimed production of Hamlet this Saturday 4 April at 20:00, with Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera in the title role and Francesca Mills, winner of the 2024 Ian Charleson Award, as Ophelia.
Directed by National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director Robert Hastie, previously known for Standing at the Sky’s Edge and Operation Mincemeat, the production is set in a world of power, privilege and uncertainty and offers a contemporary take on Shakespeare’s tragedy. Critics have described it as “compelling” (The Independent), “fresh and quizzical” (Financial Times) and “a beautifully choreographed production” (The Guardian).
The cast also includes Alistair Petrie as Claudius, Siobhán Redmond as the First Player and Geoffrey Streatfeild as Polonius. The creative team includes Ben Stones on set and costume design, Jessica Hung Han Yun on lighting, Alexandra Faye Braithwaite on sound and Kate Waters as fight director.
Filmed live at the National Theatre in London, the screening runs for 177 minutes including a 15-minute interval and is presented with English and Greek subtitles.
Tickets are priced at €12 and €10 and are available at https://rialto.interticket.com/program/hamlet-nt-live-3362 or by calling 77 77 77 45, Monday to Friday between 10:00 and 15:00.
