It has been announced that Olivier Award winner Giles Terera (Hamilton, Blues for an Alabama Sky) will play the title character in Hamlet at Chichester Festival Theatre from 6 September-4 October.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. 

The death of his father, the king, turns Hamlet’s world upside down. Stunned by the horrifying  secrets revealed, he loses all trust in the people closest to him. 

Amidst a maelstrom of grief, suspicion and doubt, he embarks on a profound journey of self discovery in which the betrayal of friends and family – and the decay at the heart of the state – are laid bare.  

Artistic Director of CFT, Justin Audibert, directs Chichester’s first ever production of Shakespeare’s supreme tragedy, with design by Lily Arnold, lighting by Ryan Day, sound by Ed Clarke, movement direction by Lucy Cullingford, and casting by Matilda James CDG.
