The death of his father, the king, turns Hamlet’s world upside down. Stunned by the horrifying
secrets revealed, he loses all trust in the people closest to him.
Amidst a maelstrom of grief, suspicion and doubt, he embarks on a profound journey of self-
discovery in which the betrayal of friends and family – and the decay at the heart of the state –
are laid bare.
Justin Audibert, Artistic Director of CFT, directs Chichester’s first ever production of
Shakespeare’s supreme tragedy.
