The Performance
Using Shakespeare’s original text, Clayton Jevne’s exciting performance combines various techniques (acting, puppetry, story telling) for a show that is both hilarious and gripping. One-Man Hamlet has played to tens of thousands in four countries! If you have thought Shakespeare dry and unappealing before, this just might be the show to change your opinion!
Clayton’s love for the Bard and his wild abandon combine to deliver a show suitable for everyone! One-Man Hamlet is offered in lengths ranging from 60 minutes to two hours.
