About The Show
Shakespeare meets Star Wars, reimagined as a retro-future, space-viking, glam rock opera, as if it were a lost collaboration among David Bowie, Jim Henson and Doctor Who. Set in the far future on the planet Denmark-5, Space Hamlet tells the story of the young prince Hamlet as he seeks vengeance on his uncle Claudius for the murder of his father, King Ham.
