As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father鈥檚 death but paralyzed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state.
Directed by Lyndsey Turner (Posh, Chimerica), this 鈥淗amlet鈥� is 鈥淸o]ne of the most visually and atmospherically stunning productions . . . ever鈥� according to Time Out.

Critics praised Cumberbatch鈥檚 performance as Hamlet saying he 鈥渆xudes charisma and intelligence鈥� (Evening Standard) and is 鈥渁 blazing five-star Hamlet鈥� (Daily Telegraph).
鈥淗补尘濒别迟鈥� is the third of six recorded-live NT Live productions that will be presented by 成人B站 SCREENS this fall. NT Live is the National Theatre's groundbreaking project to broadcast the best of British theatre to cinemas around the world.
