What's On

Hamlet Camp

The Hamlets are back!

Following a sell-out world premiere season, three stars of Australian stage and screen – Brendan Cowell, Ewen Leslie, and Toby Schmitz – reunite for a night of poetry, pith and play in Hamlet Camp.

Through an intimate, self-help slaughterhouse session of soliloquies, swords and sublime word play, the play wrestles with the conundrum that being cast as the Danish Prince (the most sought-after role in theatre history) is both a blessing and a lifelong curse.

Prepare for an evening of laughs, tears and bewilderment as Cowell, Leslie and Schmitz lay bare an actor’s life of friendship, passion, cruelty, glory and chaos.

Get Sando | Wonderland Productions
Apparently, hens like having their ovaries tickled. Bill, a baby boomer hobby farmer preoccupied with raising chickens saw it on You Tube. You gotta egg them on to egg them on.
