Emile Bustani Auditorium

The Globe’s unprecedented world Hamlet tour returns home for a weekend of celebratory final performances, marking exactly 400 years since Shakespeare’s death.

Learning of his father’s death, Prince Hamlet comes home to find his uncle married to his mother and installed on the Danish throne. At night, the ghost of the old king demands that Hamlet avenge his ‘foul and most unnatural murder’.

Encompassing political intrigue and sexual obsession, philosophical reflection and violent action, tragic depth and wild humour, Hamlet is Shakespeare’s ‘poem unlimited’, a colossus in the story of the English language and the fullest expression of his genius. The Globe to Globe Hamlet tour has played to over a hundred thousand people in all corners of the world – in theatres, temples, public squares and refugee camps – sparking discussion and joy wherever it goes.

Join this extraordinary troupe of travelling players for their unforgettable final moments on the Globe stage.
