We tested the waters with our first season... and the response was overwhelming. Now, fueled by that success, we’re diving headfirst into season two. Get ready for an unforgettable ride!

 

As of March 23rd, Naše Divadlo Calgary is officially in production mode!

The cast is set, the first table read and initial recordings are complete, and behind the scenes, things are buzzing—scenography, prop design, and costumes are all in full swing. Meanwhile, our talented actors are preparing for an intensive four-week summer sword fighting and performance workshop before diving into full rehearsals at the end of August.
 

About our upcoming production:

This one’s truly special and it’s a project we’re all genuinely excited about. 

Hamlet 5, or What's New in Elsinore? was written by our very own František Vaněček, who first brought this adaptation to life in the early 1990s. It premiered in 1992 under the title Hamlet 4, or Circus Elsinore, receiving rave reviews and earning multiple re-runs, quickly becoming an instant classic. Due to overwhelming demand from both audiences and actors, the play returned to the stage in 2004, once again captivating theatergoers with extended runs and enthusiastic acclaim. Now, more than two decades later, this beloved adaptation is set to shine once more—this time in Calgary.

 

Hamlet 5, or What’s New in Elsinore?, is a musical tragicomedy that blends the genius of William Shakespeare with the wit of Tom Stoppard, the mastermind behind Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. Prepare for sharp humour, thrilling fencing, unforgettable music—and two gravediggers who will undoubtedly bring their own surprises to the performance.

In short, what can we say about this play?
 

“It’s intelligent, humorous, and thought-provoking while still respecting Shakespeare’s original themes. It also taps into the Central European tradition of questioning authority through art.”
