HAMLET

HAMLET (2019)

By William Shakespeare

“The best Shakespeare production I saw in 2019 was the first ever Faroese-language production of Hamlet”

- Prof. Paul Prescott, Cambridge Univerity Press

DFC´s Hamlet was set in the Nordic House in Tórshavn and was a site-specific promenade theatre piece. Hamlet’s own descent into madness was emphasized by the audience descending further and further into the labyrinthian structures of the Nordic House
