About this show
William Shakespeare's Hamlet is the single play in the Western tradition that encompasses the central questions of existence that apply to all humans across social, political, economic, educational, environmental, religious and racial boundaries. Who Am I? Why Do I Exist? What Must I Do? Rooted in classical principles of examining these essential questions, it follows, that when we understand Hamlet, we understand ourselves. Adapted and directed by visionary Ukrainian theatre artist Dmitry Troyanovsky it stars Kevin Hopkins and Claire Nichols of the Australian Shakespeare Company alongside emerging professionals from PSC's 2026 Summer Shakespeare Intensive.

4.5 stars A thoughtful exploration of Shakespearean ideas of guilt, grief, and madness.
Directed by Dimitry Troyanovsky (supported by the artistic company, Guy Roberts, Jessca Boone and the professional and student cast), this Hamlet is as believable, intense and grounded as any a Hamlet I’ve ever seen.
