Bud Frank Cinema and the Department of Theatre and Dance present National Theatre Live’s production of HAMLET (2025) with a special introduction by ETSU's current Basler Chair, Steve Maurice Jones.

Olivier Award-winner Hiran Abeysekera (Life of Pi) is Hamlet in this fearless, contemporary take on Shakespeare’s famous tragedy. Trapped between duty and doubt, surrounded by power and privilege, young Prince Hamlet dares to ask the ultimate question – you know the one. National Theatre Deputy Artistic Director Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge, Operation Mincemeat) directs this sharp, stylish and darkly funny reimagining.

This event is sponsored by the Mary B. Martin School of the Arts and is free and open to the public – doors open at 12:30pm.
