Hamlet as you’ve never seen it before!
Kupenga Kwa is Shona, the main indigenous language in Zimbabwe and translated means The Madness of Hamlet. Using just a few props, two charismatic actors play all the roles in this unique version of Hamlet, telling the story in ‘township’ style with a simplicity that is filled with imagination. Both thought-provoking and humorous, Kupenga Kwa Hamlet looks at themes of family relationships and power set against a backdrop of life in a transitional society. Shakespeare’s masterpiece is brought to life with an irreverent energy that will captivate you from the start.
