'A Theatrical Coup!' Evening Standard

The Factory bring their unique production of Hamlet to the Globe for a special anniversary performance.

The project is based on the ideas of director Tim Carroll. Inspired by his 2006 Budapest production of Hamlet, and developed since then with The Factory, he explored a system where every actor learns multiple parts. The audience and chance-selection dictate the different casting permutations each night. The result is a production that is free-moving, fresh, and entirely different every evening.

There are no designated props. Any object that you see on stage or used by an actor will come from the audience. It may be a shoe, a phone, a inflatable dingy... ANYTHING you can bring in to be used. Audience members are encouraged to bring as weird and bold a prop that they can think of!

"In my pipe-dream version of this scheme, the Hamlet project becomes an ongoing, drop-of-a-hat, guerrilla campaign… I hope we can make the work stimulating and inspiring for everyone" Tim Carroll
