Repertory Theatre

A young timid playwright is invited by a neurotic, Hamlet-obsessed national theatre manager to discuss his debut play. When art meets production value things are never easy, but nothing on God’s green earth could prepare this young man for the zany ride he is about to take.
As it turns out the artistic director has a personal agenda concerning the playwright’s own biography: his deceased legendary actor/father (and best friend to the artistic director) who mysteriously died on stage whilst performing Hamlet. As the room becomes crowded with ghosts from the past, skeletons from the closet and other revived clichés, the thin borders between conscious and subconscious, theatre and real-life, implode in a groundbreaking climax.

Repertory Theatre took the Edinburgh Fringe festivals of 2012 & 2013 by storm: from raving reviews and sold out runs, to being shortlisted for Best Ensemble by the prestigious “Stage”. In recent years it went on to performing at London’s Camden Fringe and The Hague’s Shakespeare festival, as well as winning the Grand prize at the Stockholm Fringe festival (STOFF), Best play award at the Israeli fringe awards and recently the Best show at the Romanian 7B international comedy festival.
