hamlet

“I played Hamlet in college, and I will say this is harder because everything is subject to interpretation.”

The child, who has not been named for legal reasons, lives in a one bedroom home in Tower Hamlets in London which needs to be extended to provide another bedroom and space for his equipment.

One of the locations it uses is Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park, which Mr Rensten says is "the most fertile and diverse square mile of the city".

The final play on my itinerary was “Good Bones,” by Ijames, a playwright I’ve been eager to get to know better after “Fat Ham,” his brilliantly hilarious Pulitzer Prize-winning riff on “Hamlet.”

Set in Elsinore, which has become a surveillance state, the play centres on Hamlet and Ophelia’s awakening to the lies and corruption in Denmark, gradually revealed by ghosts and music.
