It's the heist of the millennium. Marcus, a small-time producer with an unwholesome obsession for Shakespeare, is plotting to steal the bard's remains from his grave in Stratford-upon-Avon. As a front for his clandestine activities, Marcus has duped an unwitting troupe of incompetent actors into staging a Shakespeare play.
Witness the trials of a true Shakespeare fanatic as he contends with temperamental drama queens, back-stage calamities, an eccentric Lithuanian widow, an Irish nun, and even the occasional confrontation with the immortal bard himself.

During its critically-acclaimed run at the 2003 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, SHAMLET played to sell-out houses, selling more tickets than any other show at the venue (C-Central, off the Royal Mile). It was featured on Mervyn Stutter's PICK OF THE FRINGE – the original and best showcase for the festival – and made The Scotsman's Top 5 Shakespeare Shows HIT LIST. The production is coming to The King’s Head Theatre from 29th August to 24th September 2006. Tickets are available from The King’s Head Box office 020 7226 1916.
