Hamlet, rewritten for teenagers. Hamlet's father used to be fonder of scouting than his wife Gertrude. Hamlet, as a teenager, oscillates between the worlds of scouting, punk and emo. Claudius is good-humoured and rotund, Gertrude a jaded sceptic, Laertes is gay and Ophelia forthright... The production makes use of excerpts from Shakespeare's tragedy.
