I have that within which passeth show. Hamlet

This is probably the most personal play to date by Paweł Demirski, returning to the theatre after a five-year hiatus, working with Remigiusz Brzyk to create a play in which the 1990s meet the present, and Hamlet operates in a world dominated by the patriarchy. A man in his forties, raised by women, longs for a symbolic adoption and wants to choose his new father himself. A personal sense of hollowness, of missing his absent parent, is juxtaposed with Hamlet's relationships with his dead father and Claudius. In the context of his growing frustration and the radicalization of young men and the crisis of male identity, this tale of fatherhood, the attempt to understand it and to redefine it, now seems vital indeed.
