  • Hamlet

    • A family drama of revenge and deciding the right thing to do.

    With two actors, one musician and seven items in a suitcase, NIE’s ensemble finds inventive ways to tell this big and most famous of stories in a funny and accessible way. We will take you on a roller-coaster of excitement, humour and grief in equal measure in this bitesize retelling of Shakespeare.

    ’This production of Hamlet was amazing. All the children were really engaged and on the edge of their seats. I would thoroughly recommend’ – Y5 Teacher
