In its first visit to the UK, acclaimed company Teatro de los Andes transpose Hamlet to Bolivia in this urgent, physical and stunningly visual production. Using inventive but deceptively simple staging, three actors and a musician play 15 characters to create a politically charged take on Hamlet that exposes the plight of the thousands of Bolivians who leave their rural homes for the city in hope of a better life.
