Get tickets to Hamlet starring Giles Terera

Giles Terera, winner of an Olivier Award for Hamilton, and Critics’ Circle Best Actor Award for Blues for an Alabama Sky and the title role in Othello at the National Theatre, gives the performance of a lifetime as Hamlet.

Justin Audibert, Artistic Director of Chichester Festival Theatre, directs Chichester’s first ever production of Shakespeare’s supreme tragedy.

Hamlet is playing at Chichester Festival Theatre from 6 September to 4 October 2025. There’s currently no news about a West End or London transfer for the production, but check back for details or sign-up for alerts.

The death of his father, the king, turns Hamlet’s world upside down. Stunned by the horrifying secrets revealed, he loses all trust in the people closest to him.

Amidst a maelstrom of grief, suspicion and doubt, he embarks on a profound journey of self-discovery in which the betrayal of friends and family – and the decay at the heart of the state – are laid bare.
