Outrageous Fortune: The Story of Gertrude

Gertrude: Wife. Mother. Queen of Denmark. Mature, experienced woman whose sexuality is ridiculed and agency denied by the men around her. In the 400 years since Hamlet was written, what – if anything – has changed? Welcome to purgatory. Where everything we know about Gertrude is torn apart, reimagined and reclaimed for the 21st century in a funny and fierce act of revolution. There’ll be tea. There’ll be visits from unexpected guests. There’ll be a live drum score.
