This autumn the Barbican Theatre will stage the fastest-selling theatre production in history. Lyndsey Turner’s highly anticipated production of Hamlet, with Benedict Cumberbatch taking the lead, will be on stage for 12 weeks from the 5th August. Tickets to this event sold out within minutes of going live last year, but there are still a few ways you can get to see it. Each day, 30 tickets for the evening production will be sold for £10 from 10am at the Barbican. In addition, any spare or returned tickets will be on sale 90 minutes before the start of each production (start time 7.15pm). Finally, the National Theatre Live series will stream the October 15th production to various cinemas around the globe. Some cinemas will also screen an encore of the production on additional dates. Booking in advance will be necessary. Check the National Theatre Live website for your nearest participating cinema.
Monmouth Dean recently let the fifth floor of 12 Masons Avenue to Smith Stone Walters. We’re very envious of their new office as it puts them in prime position to snap up the last few tickets to what promises to be a world-class production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet!
