The Name of Action (2026)

February 3, 2026Documentary0h 10m

To be, or not to be? The most famous speech in the English language has been deradicalized and made into something very safe and individualistic when actually it’s about a collective call to action.

Overview

A look at why Hamlet, a play that’s over 400 years old, holds a mirror up to society today. Filmed across four days of workshops with youth theatre groups across London: The Big House, Bush Theatre Young Companies, Centre 59, and Open Door.
