2025 Season - Hamlet
Back for the fourth year running, Shakespearience Australia and Dungog Shakespearience are excited to bring one of the most famous AND STILL RELEVANT - Hamlet- to the enchanting forest stages of Wangat Lodge! After the sell out success of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 2022, As You Like It in 2023, and Romeo & Juliet in 2024 director Timothy Weston has turned his imagination to Shakespeare’s classic tale of revenge tragedy! AS ALWAYS, it will be an unmissable experience!
Hamlet. The Plot - Prince Hamlet of Denmark is thrown into a whirlwind of revenge (and madness!?) when his father’s ghost reveals he was murdered by Hamlet’s treacherous uncle, Claudius—who has not only stolen the throne but also married Hamlet’s mother. Torn between duty and doubt, Hamlet plots a dramatic showdown, staging a play to “catch the conscience of the king,” all while feigning (or perhaps slipping into) madness. Love, betrayal, duels, poison, and a graveyard confrontation pile up until the stage is drenched in tragedy, leaving nearly everyone, dead in a breathtaking cascade of blood, vengeance, and fate. And honestly, if Hamlet had just gone to therapy and muted Claudius on social media, we might have been spared five acts of chaos.
Dungog Shakespearience performances are an immersive experience set amongst the trees of 3 forest stages at Wangat Lodge. Join us for 2025! We have 5 shows and Show/dinner/accommodation packages available! Check it out! -
