SUMMARY:Space Hamlet | The Cockpit Theatre
DESCRIPTION:It’s Shakespeare. In space. With Norse hammers. And Muppet-like aliens running amok. \nThe Bard’s tragedy gets blasted into orbit\, transformed into a cosmic Glam rock comedy featuring norse gods\, gladiator pits\, space misfits and a golden robot. \nContaining adult language\, puppet violence and at least one song that Shakespeare definitely didn’t write\, it is the ultimate treat for fans of Operation Mincemeat\, Avenue Q and Forbidden Planet. \n“Everyone still dies\, but there are a lot more laughs along the way” – Cultivated UK  \n\n“This brand new musical sets to catapult you into the stratosphere (with some amazing puppetry)!”\nRhombus Rota \nAlong with a cast of eight actors\, the show features an eclectic array of puppets playing aliens\, monsters\, courtiers and Norse god. The London premier follows a sold-out run produced by Open Door Theatre in Norwich 2025. Featuring an original Bowie-inspired glam rock score by Dan Sturman and R.C. Staab. \nHamlet stars Nic Gordon as Hamlet\, alongside Lucas Fox as Claudius\, Ruby Bardwell-Dix as Ophelia\, Amy Beven as Horatio and Polonius\, Shem Jacobs as King Ham\, Lauren Bryant as Gertrude\, Elle Overvoorde as Laertes and Lewis Aves as Fortinbras. \nThe creative team includes Jo Myers\, costume designer; Katie Howell\, puppet wrangler; Acer Smith\, orchestrator; Colin Nicol\, stage manager; Matt Cross\, sound and lighting designer; Carole Beatty\, choreographer; Christoper Davidson\, musical director; Dan Smith\, costumer designer and Elle Overvoorde\, puppet maker. \nDirector April Nash said\, “It is incredibly exciting to stage our show at The Cockpit\, a space renowned for hosting bold\, boundary-pushing new work. With our talented cast of eight actors in a universe of puppet aliens and Viking warriors get ready for an epic production that’s out of this world.”
