WORLD PREMIERE
Guild Festival Theatre is proud to present the world premiere of Genevieve Adam's Heratio - a bold re-imagining of Hamlet that picks up the story after Shakespeare's ending. Through a delightful blend of humour, mystery and melancholy, Heratio gives the stage to the women and servants who are left to clean up the mess created by the intrigues of princes and kings.
Heratio was developed through In Conversation With Classics, Guild Festival Theatre's program for new plays.
