“If you want your kids to have fun at the theatre and fall for all its magic, get them to a Listies show as soon as possible... Nobody else makes Shakespeare this fun.” Daily Review
Friday 22 September | 11am | GPAC Main Theatre
A very cheeky, very clever, utterly irreverent riff on Hamlet – made especially for children. Australia’s favourite kidult comedy duo, The Listies, are back with their hilarious adaption of Shakespeare’s classic. Hamlet is already full of things kids love in a good story: ghosts, castles, sword fights, bodily fluids and spooky stuff. Add to the mix some supersonic gags and expertly timed stage magic and you have a brilliantly disguised Shakespearean tragedy for everyone aged five and over.
Hamlet: Prince of Skidmark is a side-splitting adventure that shatters the fourth wall and glues it back together with supersonic storytelling, silliness and plenty of interactivity. Spoiler alert: everyone dies at the end–including the audience!
