Black Theatre Live

For the first time in Britain, an all-black cast present Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy on tour this autumn, in a striking contribution to the Shakespeare 400 anniversary celebration.

Remember me….

Denmark, a Black Empire of modern England, where an intelligent young student discovers the world he once knew has crumbled. Implored to defend what is left of his father’s decaying legacy, Hamlet now faces the greatest moral challenge – to kill or not to kill.

Directed by Jeffery Kissoon and adapted with Shakespeare’s text by award-winning playwright Mark Norfolk, this fast-moving version gets straight to the heart of a young man’s dilemma.

The pioneering Black Theatre Live most recently toured hit productions of Tara Arts’Macbeth, She Called Me Mother starring Cathy Tyson and The Diary Of A Hounslow Girl, this May.
