TERM 2
A BADAPTATION OF THE BARD
CREATED BY RICHARD HIGGINS, MATT KELLY & DECLAN GREENE
THE LISTIES & CRITICAL STAGES TOURING
PERFORMANCE
A very cheeky, very clever, utterly irreverent riff on Hamlet –
made especially for children.
The Listies, maestros of children’s entertainment, have pulled
apart Shakespeare’s classic and glued it back together with
hilarious costumes, loads of silliness and plenty of interactivity.

....................................
Hamlet is already full of things kids love in a good story: ghosts,
castles, sword fights, bodily fluids and spooky stuff. Add to
the mix some supersonic gags and expertly timed stage magic
and you have a brilliantly disguised Shakespearean tragedy for
everyone aged five and over.
And that’s not all... expect bonus pillow fights, pirates, ninjas,
ninja pirates, aliens, ninja pirate aliens, zombies and a bunch of
other hilarious stuff as The Listies take kids and their adults on
a fun-filled hour of theatre. The only thing we can be sure of is
that everyone dies at the end – including the audience!
SUITABLE FOR
Stages 1-4
