Ephraim's father is different from all other fathers. He sings songs in the street, insists on kissing Ephraim in front of everyone, and is frightened in scary movies. And is generally very embarrassing. When a baking competition is announced at the kindergarten, Ephraim's father stays up all night baking the winning cake. Is this a recipe for the biggest embarrassment of all?
And maybe this time Ephraim will finally be proud of his father?

Academy Award® nominee Benedict Cumberbatch takes on the title role of Shakespeare’s great tragedy. As a country arms itself for war, a family tears itself apart. Forced to avenge his father’s death but paralysed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state. 

“One of the most visually and atmospherically stunning productions I’ve ever seen, of anything, ever” (Time Out).

Dir.:Lyndsey Turner
W.:Benedict Cumberbatch
