‘Hamlet – Set in the East End of London in a backstreet, 1950s, Jazz Club. The war is over. A brooding Hamlet, too young to go off and fight, has had to stay at home and watch his mother falling in love with his uncle, whilst his father has been away at the front. When his father does return he is found dead not long after and Hamlet must discover who is to blame. When he then finds out is he brave enough to exact revenge? Shakespeare’s tale of love, secrets and murder played out against a backdrop of 1950s ‘gangster’ London threaded through with melancholic Jazz.’
