The greatest question in English literature is being asked again – but in a different way. And all because the King isn’t happy. Well, he’s been poisoned, you can’t blame him. And now he wants revenge….
This is the backstory to Hamlet – a prequel to Shakespeare’s play that imagines the Old King arriving in the afterlife where he meets his old court jester, Yorick.
Only Yorick can stop dead King Hamlet destroying everything and everyone he loves. But he’s a fool. What follows is a battle of wits between two fools – and only one of them knows he’s a fool.
It’s about love, loss, legacy and letting go. And hats; hats are important.
A comedy about a tragedy and a love letter to the greatest play ever written.
