Hamlet Pop Up
Jun 13, 2025-Jun 26, 2025
Meet Hamlet at Kronborg - up close and personal. On selected days you can experience small snippets of Shakespeare's famous drama Hamlet - right where it all began.
It's not theater as you know it - but short, live scenes with the famous characters from the story. Every half hour, they appear in different parts of the castle and play small excerpts from Hamlet. Sometimes they stick to the script - other times they look you straight in the eye and draw you into the story. Between scenes, the characters walk around the castle and bring the story to life with you - so keep an eye out for them as you explore the corridors and halls.
