Come to Stratford on Shaul HaMelech as The Cameri Theatre hosts The Globe Theatre’s production of Hamlet! Shakespeare’s Globe embarked on a two year tour of Hamlet to every country in the world, and they will be coming to Israel for one performance only on March 30, 2016.
Directed by The Globe’s Artistic Director Dominic Dromgoole and Bill Buckhearst, the project began with the first performance on April 14, 2014, marking the 450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s birth.

The troupe has been blogging throughout the tour, with photos and contributions by audience members, you can follow them on Tumblr and Twitter.
