Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Madness, murder and revenge combine in one of the greatest works in literary history.
Hamlet: Out of Joint guides students through the entire plot of Shakespeare's original play, combining critical analysis with entertaining stagings of key scenes and soliloquies. Through a spirited retelling, The Players investigate the themes, language, ideas and perspectives presented in the play. The perfect complement to classroom study of Hamlet for senior students, promising to provoke rigorous discussion and rich debate upon return to the desks.
The Players are Bell Shakespeare’s touring ensemble of professional artists who bring Shakespeare to life in schools and communities across Australia.
50-minute performances are paired with a 10-minute Q&A for an action-packed hour of Shakespeare immersion. Each show comes with its own comprehensive Online Learning Pack to ensure you can make the most of the performance with pre- and post-show resources and exercises.
Each performance explores key scenes and soliloquies, analysis of Shakespeare’s language, choices and themes and contemporary commentary all wrapped up in a fresh, modern narrative.
The Players are sure to be a favourite of students and teachers alike. Book one show or host us for the entire day. Forget booking buses, let us come to you. We’re looking forward to delivering high-energy Shakespeare shows in your school.
