  • Hamlet

    The F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre 36 Madison Avenue, Madison, New Jersey

    A towering tragedy of ambition, betrayal, and moral reckoning, Hamlet follows a young prince pulled into a deadly web of secrets embroiled at the seat of power. Urgent, suspenseful, and fiercely human, Shakespeare’s most psychologically-rich play crackles with tension as it probes the cost of action — and inaction — in a world where truth is a slippery thing. Epic and endlessly relevant, Hamlet asks what it truly means to live with a conscience in a corrupt world. Only Complete Works Subscriptions are available at this time. Single tickets will be released at a later date.
