Tom Hiddleston takes on Hamlet

Tom Hiddleston is starring in a production of Hamlet which will be directed by heavy-weight of the theatre world, Kenneth Branagh.

The show has a relatively short run from September 1-23, and eager fans must apply for tickets through a ballot which will only be open until August 6.

Branagh and Hiddleston’s Hamlet will be on at London’s Jerwood Vanburgh Theatre in partnership with the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) as part of a fundraiser for the RADA Attenborough campaign. The campaign is attempting to redevelop a major part of the RADA campus to provide the first on-site student accommodation.
