As The King’s Men perform Shakespeare’s Hamlet at the court of James VI/I and Queen Anne of Denmark, bittersweet memories are unearthed for the royal couple. They recall a perilous voyage across the waters between Scotland and Denmark. The play stirs up a well of grief, opening the deepest of heart wounds in the king himself.
Created and performed together with English storyteller Alice Fernbank the performance explores parallels between the story of Hamlet and the life of James VI/I.
