Outdoor Theatre: Hamlet the Comedy at Middleton
Overview
Oddsocks are delighted to bring a brand new adaptation of Hamlet The Comedy to Leeds this summer!
“Hamlet The Comedy” finds the eponymous royal student returning home for the summer holidays to find something rotten in the state of Denmark and it’s more than just the bag of dirty washing! Mum’s married Uncle Claudius and Dad’s dishing the dirt from his grave – it’s enough to make a teenager mad! Things will never be the same again in the Hamlet household...
Shakespeare’s famous tragedy is performed as you’ve never seen before with lots of laughs, music and memorable moments.
Running time: 2 hours inc interval
“Outrageously funny, a joy, with neatly-engineered slapstick” NOTTINGHAM POST
"Oddsocks excels in an entertaining show which succeeds as both farce and a perfect introduction to Shakespeare." THE STAGE ★★★★
Extras
Please bring a picnic.
Location & Itinerary
We'll meet from 6pm for a picnic. The show starts at 7pm and should finish at 9pm.
Meet in the car park near the lake and visitor centre. This is accessed from the entrance on Town Street in Middleton opposite its junction with St. Philips Avenue. If the car park is full, please return your vehicle to Town Street and walk back to the car park. Please allow time for this.
Allow plenty of time as it is likely to be busier than usual. You may need to park further away and walk.
There are several entrances to Middleton Park but you'll need to take the entrance from Town Street.
Bus 13 LeedsCity stops near the entrance but please double check bus times.
