RSC – Hamlet

3 - 7 Mar 2026

19:00

The Alhambra Theatre

The Royal Shakespeare Company returns to Bradford with a "must-see" (Guardian) new production of Hamlet.

Hamlet’s mother has married his uncle, and at a less than decent interval since the death of his father. As he pulls at the threads of his not-so-happy new family, Hamlet unravels a web of deceit and immorality that leads to the ultimate crisis of conscience.

Fresh from its run in Stratford-upon-Avon, this "scintillating new staging" (Financial Times) of Shakespeare’s famous revenge drama visits the Alhambra Theatre as part of a major national tour.

The stellar creative team is led by multi-award-winning director Rupert Goold whose recent work includes Dear England (National Theatre) and King Charles III (Almeida Theatre).
