“Playing the title character as a fragile man dangerously unravelling, [Riz] Ahmed brings considerable passion to indelible lines—but the real force comes from the emotional authenticity he lends one of drama’s most formidable and familiar roles.” —Tim Grierson, Screen International
In this modern telling of Shakespeare’s play set in London’s elite South Asian community, Hamlet (Riz Ahmed) comes home for his father's funeral and finds his uncle Claudius (Art Malik) marrying his widowed mother, Gertrude (Sheeba Chaddha). When his father's ghost (Avijit Dutt) reveals that Claudius murdered him, Hamlet begins a journey of revenge and introspection. Also starring Joe Alwyn as Laertes, Morfydd Clark as Ophelia, and Timothy Spall as Polonius.
