This radical re-working of Shakespeare's masterpiece deconstructs the play into elemental scenes, excluding everything unknown to Hamlet, and reconstructs it as a fractured interior monologue, in which the dying prince watches his whole life pass before him in his final minutes.

Hamlet struggles to remember and understand his life and death, and the pain and suffering he inflicted upon others.

On the edge of time, a twilight space where one is gazing from this world into the next, there is no "plot" per se, just fragments of memory bubbling up to be obsessively replayed as in a fevered dream.

By setting the play in a limbo-like dream space where it is possible to jump around in time, the production is granted an interpretive latitude that is unavailable to conventional Hamlets.
