Jude Law And Penelope Wilton Headline HAMLET At Donmar

Jude Law and Penelope Wilton will headline Director Michael Grandage's upcoming production of Hamlet. The production will run May 29-August 22.

The King of Denmark is dead.

Consumed with grief, Prince Hamlet determines to avenge his father's apparent murder, with devastating consequences for his family and the kingdom.

Michael Grandage directs Jude Law as Hamlet in Shakespeare's iconic revenge tragedy. The cast will also include Kevin R. McNally, Peter Eyre, Matt Ryan, Alex Waldmann, Ron Cook, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and John MacMillan.

To accompany each production, the Donmar commissions a special study-guide.

These guides provide students and teachers with resources and practical exercises with which to explore the production further.

The Hamlet study-guide will be available from 4 June 2009.

The Donmar Warehouse, located on Earlham Street in Covent Garden, is one of London's leading producing theatres.

Under the artistic leadership of Michael Grandage, this 250-seat subsidised (not-for-profit) theatre has presented some of London's most memorable award-winning theatrical experiences, as well as garnered critical acclaim at home and abroad.

The theatre has a diverse artistic policy that includes new writing, contemporary reappraisals of European classics, British and American drama and small scale musical theatre.

Over the last 15 years the theatre has created a reputation associated with artistic excellence: it has showcased the talent of some of the industry's leading creative artists, and built an unparalleled catalogue of work.

We will continue to present productions at the Donmar Warehouse to run alongside our year-long residency at the Wyndham's Theatre.
