ArtsEmerson: The World on Stage presents Hamlet. From Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, a handful of players perform this timeless classic. Hamlet explores political intrigue and sexual obsession, philosophical reflection (“to be, or not to be…”) and violent action, tragic depth and wild humor. Capturing the youthful and less jaded aspects of Hamlet’s personality rarely seen in more traditional interpretations, in just two and a half hours, this production embraces the theatre of Shakespeare’s day. Actors play multiple characters and live music, infusing the performance with a lively energy. Humorous and boisterous, the Globe Company packs an emotional wallop with their inherent theatricality.
