Hamlet
New York Premiere
By William Shakespeare
German translation by Marius von Mayenburg
Schaubühne Berlin
Directed by Thomas Ostermeier
- Part of
- Fall 2020
From its mud-splattered, rain-soaked opening, Thomas Ostermeier’s Hamlet delivers on its reputation as one of the great interpretations of Shakespeare. Pop music, drag shows, and courtly duels coexist in riotous harmony in the German auteur’s legendary production, which finally comes to New York after traveling the globe to international acclaim. Cult Shakespearean star Lars Eidinger (Richard III) gives an unforgettable, no-holds-barred performance as the Dane, gliding between Hamlet’s famous soliloquies and raucous improvisations as he swears, schemes, and videotapes.
With the uncompromising vision that earned him the Venice Biennale’s Golden Lion in honor of his body of work, Ostermeier returns to BAM to bring new meaning to mad genius.
Note: Strobe lights will be used in this production.
