👑 MURDER. MISCHIEF. AND A BATTLE OF FOOLS. 👑

What happens before “To be or not to be”…?

More Information (Your Skipton is not responsible for external websites)

Waiting For Hamlet is a dazzling Shakespearean comedy by David Visick, directed by Tim Marriott, and performed by Nicholas Collett & Tim Marriott.

This ingenious prequel imagines the Old King Hamlet arriving in the afterlife… only to discover he’s been poisoned. Murder most foul.

There he meets his old court jester, Yorick — and what follows is a razor-sharp battle of wits between two fools… though only one of them knows he’s a fool.

It’s not about whether to be or not to be — It’s about how not to be.
