Shakespeare鈥檚 timeless tragedy takes on a thrilling Scandi-Noir twist in this new adaptation that skilfully interweaves the original text with a gripping detective narrative. With an all-Scandinavian cast, and set in present-day Denmark, the story unfolds against a backdrop of brooding landscapes and intense power struggles. Prince Hamlet, torn between madness and grief, is on a relentless quest to avenge his father鈥檚 murder. Meanwhile, a tenacious detective, Eva Holm, investigates the suspicious deaths at the Danish Court. But as Eva slowly unearths the truth and Hamlet edges closer to ultimate catharsis, both find themselves entangled in a web of treachery and corruption.

Recorded on location in Denmark, with the opening scenes captured at Kronborg Castle in Elsinore, HAMLET NOIR features an all-Scandinavian cast, including Iben Hjejle (High Fidelity, Defiance, Langt fra Las Vegas) as Gertrude, and Simon Sears (Shadow and Bone, Shorts, Ride Upon the Storm) as Lars.

HAMLET NOIR is an immersive audio drama and has been recorded with 3D, binaural audio technology designed to mimic how our ears listen - we recommend headphones for the fullest listening experience.

Adapted by Charlotte Mel茅n from William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
