HAMLET recenetly played to sold-out houses at the BERGEN INTERNATIONAL THEATRE FESTIVAL in JUNE 2026 - and receieved a standing ovation every night. Photos will appear here when we have them!

HAMLET also played as the Centrepiece of the Mad About Theatre Festival in Aldeburgh, a wonderful weekend of performances, talks and screenings, that raised money for our good friends Second Stage - with whom we have also deliverd workshops in prisons. Again, pictures when we have them!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A bewitching solo performance by Mark Lockyer, a masterclass in pacing and emotional clarity. Soliloquies that make the skin tingle’

The Guardian

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A MASTERFUL SHOW

The Play’s the Thing is an ambitious work, skillfully done. There cannot be too many performers who can make such a show work, but Laird has found one of the ones that can, Mark Lockyer is truly an excellent choice to bring her vision to life.

The Upcoming

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘A sharply crafted bare-bones solo take on Hamlet - director Fiona Laird and heroic solo cast member Mark Lockyer are to be congratulated for presenting the Bard’s best in such audience-pleasing style. Laird deserves every accolade for wielding the surgeon’s knife so effectively. It is excellent.’

Everything Theatre

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

‘Mark Lockyer’s performance is a tour de force - This is a Hamlet as a tightrope act, balancing Shakespeare with bold reinvention, a masterclass in what theatre can achieve when talent, vision, and text collide’

London Pub Theatres Magazine
