The classic tale of vengeance and tragedy, reimagined.
Transcending the confines of the stage in a uniquely modern take, Sean Mathias's film of Shakespeare's classic tragedy utilises nearly every room of the Theatre Royal Windsor to transform it into the immortal Elsinore Castle, from basement dungeon to roof-top battlement.
Ian McKellen - reprising his lead role as Hamlet, a man who descends into madness as he seeks vengeance against his uncle for the apparent murder of his father - leads a stellar cast including Steven Berkoff, Frances Barber (King Lear, Chekhov’s The Seagull), Jonathan Hyde (King Lear, Titanic, Crimson Peak), Jenny Seagrove and BAFTA-winner Francesca Annis.
The screening will include an exclusive recorded Q&A with Ian McKellen and director Sean Mathias.
