Brisbane Festival: Hamnet
September 12, 2018 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
$42 – $48
Queensland Performing Arts Centre presents an Australian premiere exclusive to Brisbane, Hamnet, a solo work for an 11-year-old boy. William Shakespeare had one son. He named him Hamnet. Shakespeare then left home to pursue his career in the theatre. In 1596 he was told that the boy was seriously ill. By the time Shakespeare returned home, Hamnet had died. In 1599 Shakespeare wrote a play called Hamlet. Hamnet is too young to understand Shakespeare. We are too old to understand Hamnet. We meet in the middle, in a theatre. An AUSLAN interpreted performance will be held on Tuesday 11 September.
