Why Go:
Shakespeare’s Globe presents Globe to Globe Hamlet, a two year world tour that will stop in Athens for one night only. In collaboration with the British Embassy of Athens and the British Council, the production is a young and fresh version of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy of deferred revenge. Just twelve actors will perform over 24 parts on a stripped-down wooden stage.
