Hamlet in the Gardens

“To sleep perchance to dream” 
― William Shakespeare, Hamlet

HAMLET is playing in our gardens this weekend and next! It is not a dream!

"HAMLET is Shakespeare’s political, philosophical and psychological thriller, mesmeric, chilling, and viscerally engaging, HAMLET 400 years on still has the power to haunt us."
