About Hamlet at BAM
From its mud-splattered, rain-soaked opening, Thomas Ostermeier’s Hamlet delivers on its reputation as one of the great interpretations of Shakespeare. Pop music, drag shows, and courtly duels coexist in riotous harmony in the German auteur’s legendary production, which finally comes to New York after traveling the globe to international acclaim. Cult Shakespearean star Lars Eidinger (Richard III) gives an unforgettable, no-holds-barred performance as the Dane, gliding between Hamlet’s famous soliloquies and raucous improvisations as he swears, schemes, and videotapes.
With the uncompromising vision that earned him the Venice Biennale’s Golden Lion in honor of his body of work, Ostermeier returns to BAM to bring new meaning to mad genius.

A slightly modern twist on Shakespeare's timeless tragedy. This production was SO good I went to see it three times.
This was both a very original Hamlet and also exactly right in terms of mood and emotional representation of characters. The direction and acting were great.
Hamlet was elevated by the phenomenal performances from Hiran Abeysekera and Francesca Mills. Their chemistry and emotional intensity carried the entire production. The modern adaptation was a smart twist that made the story feel immediate and unpredictable without losing the weight of Shakespeare’s original themes
