Riz Ahmed boldly presents Shakespeare as it has never been seen before with his newest film HAMLET opening in cinemas on April 10. After playing at the prestigious Toronto, London, and Telluride film festivals, the critically acclaimed film reunites the Academy Award-winning team of Riz Ahmed and director Aneil Karia.
Shakespeare’s most enduring tragedy is reimagined in a bold, modern adaptation set within London’s elite South Asian community. When Hamlet (Riz Ahmed) returns for his father’s funeral, he is stunned to discover his uncle Claudius is marrying his newly widowed mother. Visited by his father’s ghost, Hamlet learns his brutal murder was at the hands of Claudius – and spirals into a quest for vengeance that exposes the rot at the heart of the family’s empire and threatens his own sanity.
