UP2010: The Elsinore Project

Simon Harris created a performance loaded with mystery, injustice and the seeds of revenge.

Ghosts of the past haunt the present in this uneasy slice of theatre noir, which explores how we can be overwhelmed by our lack of ability to affect, or even understand, what is happening to us. The Elsinore Project takes its inspiration from the films of David Lynch, the work of Heiner Müller, and various Hamlets from David Tennant's to Ethan Hawke's.
