| A synopsis for the Barbrican's eagerly anticipated Hamlet has been released by the theatre: "As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father’s death but paralysed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state." Information on the booking process has also been released, and a dedicated microsite has been set up to cope with heavy traffic: "As we want to ensure fair access to tickets we have taken measures to help ensure that tickets are not resold on ticket resale websites and that you do not pay an inflated price for tickets. Ticket purchases will be limited to six per household across all performances. The name of the lead booker will be printed on each ticket and photo ID of the lead booker will be required to gain admission. Failure to adhere to our Terms and Conditions of sale may result in tickets not being valid for entry". The production is directed by Lyndsey Turner (who recenetly won the Olivier Award for Best Director for Chimerica) and stars Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role making his Shakespeare debut. | |
