This most-quoted of plays is pushed to the extreme in the long awaited Istanbul debut of one of the world’s great theatre houses, Berlin’s Schaubühne. Ostermeier’s audacious production finds new human revelations and fresh political insights in the centuries-old story of Denmark’s corrupt court a system that has become a paranoid maze for Hamlet. Shakespeare serves up over 20 characters, shaping a political biosphere from the differing interests and intrigues.
