The Hamlet Project

‘WE’RE STAGING THIS INNER CONFLICT, LITERALLY TURNING THE CHARACTER INSIDE OUT.’

Director, Sinéad Rushe

RADA and Trish Wadley Productions pilot a new RADA Residencies programme with Sinéad Rushe’s polyphonic production of The Hamlet Project. This project marks the first of RADA’s artist-in-residence projects that aim to bring fresh professional insight to students and audiences alike.


Following the success of Rushe’s Othello at Riverside Studios, this companion piece The Hamlet Project sees Hamlet performed by an ensemble of three actors and features live music composed by Michael Fox (Michael & Michelle). Rushe directs Nina Bowers, Max Ferguson and Freddie MacBruce (Hamlet), Gretchen Egolf (Gertrude), Emma Harrison (Ophelia/Rosencrantz), Gareth Kennerley (Polonius/Laertes) and Nathaniel Martello-White (Claudius).
