Waiting for Hamlet - Skipton Town Hall

What happens before To be or not to be?

Waiting For Hamlet is a dazzling Shakespearean comedy by David Visick, directed by Tim Marriott, and performed by Nicholas Collett & Tim Marriott.

This ingenious prequel imagines the Old King Hamlet arriving in the afterlife only to discover hes been poisoned. Murder most foul.

There he meets his old court jester, Yorick and what follows is a razor-sharp battle of wits between two fools though only one of them knows hes a fool.

Its not about whether to be or not to be Its about how not to be.
