Hamlet

An adaptation in the form of a comedy with music of William Shakespeare's tragedy, in which three actors disagree about how to stage the Prince of Denmark, with audience participation.

This production reinterprets William Shakespeare's play as a comedy with music in which the audience also takes part. It is directed by Patricia Rodríguez, who shares the adaptation with Arantxa F. Ramos and Hugo Manso, who are also the performers on stage.

The plot begins with a disagreement: the three actors argue relentlessly about how to approach the classic. Amid interruptions and outlandish proposals, the performance becomes a chaotic and entertaining theatrical tug-of-war. Along the way, the show raises the play's famous questions, such as whether Hamlet is really mad or only pretending, what "to be or not to be" means, or why something is rotten in Denmark. To answer them, it relies on play, humour and performers who address the audience directly.

Winner of Barroco Infantil 2025, the show aims to bring the original text closer to spectators of all ages. It is performed in the Sala Tirso de Molina of the Teatro de la Comedia, in Madrid, and comes from the creators of caLORCAlor.
