“★★★★★ Brilliant …This infectiously exuberant production serves as a reminder that Shakespeare is accessible to all, and Hamlet is for everyone” The Telegraph

In this superb, funny, and deeply moving adaptation, Peruvian director Chela De Ferrari intertwines Shakespeare’s Hamlet with the lived experiences of a vibrant ensemble of eight actors with Down syndrome from Teatro La Plaza. With wry humor, playful energy, pop music, and pointed critique, the company confronts the play’s timeless themes with striking honesty and fresh insight. Drawing resonant parallels between Shakespeare’s world and our own, they offer a vision of a more just and joyful imagined future.

Now an international sensation, the production premiered in Peru before a celebrated run at the Edinburgh International Festival and has since toured 20 countries and 51 cities, with subtitles in 11 languages. Performed in Spanish with projected English translation.
