After winning over kids and adults alike in 2016, The Listies' very cheeky, very clever, utterly irreverent riff on Hamlet - made especially for children and their families- is back for a return season at the Seymour Centre and Riverside Theatres this July, followed by a tour which includes shows in Canberra, Wagga Wagga, Wollongong and Belrose.
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. According to The Listies, the time is right for Hamlet's return. "Shakespeare is on the way up at the moment. In 2016 no-one knew who he was. He was super niche and indie, like only hipsters "got" him. But then he went on The Bachelor, did Celebrity Big Brother UK and now he is massive on Insta. We've heard something about a Netflix special, Love Island and a Kombucha endorsement but his agent is being super cagey."
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 unlike anything kids have seen before and you have a brilliantly disguised Shakespearean tragedy for everyone aged five and over.
The Listies duo of Richard Higgins and Matt Kelly are thrilled to be back, saying it was "a great opportunity for us to revisit an important work like Hamlet and put in more vomiting, fart jokes and body rolls. Which, to be frank, it needed".
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!
