Two-time Academy Award nominee and Shakespearian titan, Ian McKellen, stars in this thrilling
and uniquely modern take on The Bard’s classic tragedy. In cinemas nationwide for a special one
night event on 27th February, the screening will include an exclusive recorded Q&A with Ian
McKellen and Director Sean Mathias.

A tale of revenge that has stood the test of time, Shakespeare’s classic tragedy is reimagined for the
modern day as a gripping psychological thriller! Transcending the confines of the stage in a uniquely
modern take, the film utilises nearly every room of the Theatre Royal Windsor to transform it into
the immortal Elsinore Castle, from basement dungeon to roof-top battlement.
Ian McKellen - reprising his lead role as Hamlet, a man who descends into madness as he seeks
vengeance against his uncle for the apparent murder of his father - leads a stellar cast including stage
and screen legend, Steven Berkoff, and stars of the critically acclaimed, recent stage cast of ‘Hamlet’:
Frances Barber (King Lear, Chekhov’s The Seagull), Jonathan Hyde (King Lear, Titanic, Crimson Peak),
Jenny Seagrove and BAFTA-winner Francesca Annis, bringing their iconic roles to life in this
compelling new film adaptation.

Director: Sean Mathias
Producer: Bill Kenwright, David Gilbery, Naomi George
