The EU Creative Europe Grant program is supporting a ground-breaking and historical theatre collaboration between the the Prague Shakespeare Company in Prague, Czech Republic, bremer shakespeare company in Bremen, Germany and The Odesa Academic Ukrainian Music and Drama Theater named after Vasyl Vasylko in Odesa, Ukraine to create a unique theatrical experience: the WE ARE HAMLET Project’s production of Shakespeare’s timeless classic: HAMLET.

The WE ARE HAMLET Project is a new multi-lingual, English-language based theatrical reimagining of William Shakespeare’s HAMLET created by an international company of diverse artists, theatre makers and educators collaborating together to enlighten, inspire, educate and entertain audiences across Europe and the world. The Artistic Team of HAMLET will be comprised of artists from each partner theatre, working together under the direction of Guy Roberts, Artistic Director of PSC.

HAMLET, by William Shakespeare, is the single play in the Western tradition that encompasses the central questions of existence that applies to all humans across social, political, economic, educational, environmental, religious and racial boundaries. It is a quintessential European play rooted in classical principles of examining the essential questions – Who Am I? Why Do I Exist? What Must I Do?

When we understand Hamlet, we understand ourself. When we understand ourself then we can begin to understand and empathize with others as well. It is no accident that Hamlet is one of the most popular plays around the world and every country finds something within the play that speaks to their national character and temperament. By exploring Hamlet through a multiplicity of views and artistic sensibilities with a multi-national and multi-lingual artistic company we seek to find the common experiences and humanity we all share across national boundaries and discover the truly European nature of the play and each other.
