From Standing Room Only, 12:45 pm on 30 August 2015

Shakespeare never imagined that his finest work would make for this season's hottest video game.

Written and directed by former Court Jester, now Montreal-based video game director, Simon Peacock (Voice Director of Assassin's Creed; Voice & Motion Capture Director of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided), Shakespeare's Hamlet has been transformed into a show aimed at gamers and non-gamers alike. Hamlet: The Video Game (The Stage Show) is on at The Forge at The Court Theatre from 3 - 6 September. Hamlet: The Video Show (The Stage Show).
