National Theatre Live: Hamlet
February 15, 2026 | 1PM
TICKETS: $15 for Members | $20 for general public
Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi) is Hamlet in this fearless, contemporary take on Shakespeare’s famous tragedy.
Trapped between duty and doubt, surrounded by power and privilege, young Prince Hamlet dares to ask the ultimate question – you know the one.
National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director, Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Operation Mincemeat) directs this sharp, stylish and darkly funny reimagining.
National Theatre Live is a telecast and not a live performance at the Museum.
Estimated runtime: 170 min including intermission.
National Theatre Live screenings are made possible in part by the Angela and Leonard Singer Endowment for Performing Arts.
