Following the success of their explosive adaptation of “Hamlet” at Storyhouse in 2019, the award-winning Boaty Youth Theatre Company will be propelling this tragic tale of treachery, mistrust, lost-love and the search for one’s self into life once more at The Lowry; January 2020.
“What a piece of work is man?”
Love or loathe Shakespeare, his works are the most quoted and most produced of any language to date. Join us for a darkly re-imagined exploration of Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy as we consider gender, identity, power, deception, envy, lust, love, honour, betrayal, despair and so much more…
“[The] performance was exceptional: ensemble playing of the highest quality…
Ophelia’s descent into madness was beautiful and Hamlet’s
‘To be’ soliloquy I have never seen better delivered nor with more anguish.”
– Tony Grand at Storyhouse, 2019
“I’ve never understood Shakespeare, but these guys make it accessible!”
– Audience Feedback, RSC Gardens, Stratford-upon-Avon, 2019
“Just superb!”
– David Bradley, Actor & Patron, 2019
