During February and March 2023, the (UK) National Theatre will be touring with their production of Hamlet, which has been adapted for children aged 8–12, to schools across the country. This 65-minute version of the play provides an accessible first introduction to Shakespeare.
Children seeing the production will also have the opportunity to participate in a practical workshop that introduces the plot, characters and language of the play prior to seeing the show. There will also be opportunities for teachers to attend a CPD twilight session on creative approaches to challenging texts at key stage 2.
This production of Hamlet is also running in the Dorfman Theatre at the National Theatre from 20-28 March 2023. Pre-show workshops will be available to be delivered in schools in London or within easy traveling distance of London during February and March 2023.
