Hamlet is regarded as the greatest written play in western literature. Much like most of Shakespeare’s work its lasting power is incomparable. But what about Hamlet is so compelling to do over and over again? It is the story of how unshakeable the human spirit is in the throes of tragedy. The perseverance of humanity in the face of corruption. Hamlet stands the test of time because the meaning of being human is eternal. Now more than ever is a play like Hamlet needed. To remind us what it is like to be human. Hamlet offers us an opportunity to sit in a theatre among fellow humans and endure tragedy together. To ask the questions of life together. It reminds us that the human condition is equal parts communal as it is individual.
