Opening on April 25, 2025, for three electrifying nights at Live at Play, MacGyvers Performing Arts, in association with Cross Bronx Studios, presents William Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet: The Rest is Silence’, a bold new reimagining of the timeless tragedy.

This stripped-back, contemporary staging explores power, revenge, and descent into madness, led by a cast featuring seasoned performers and rising voices from the UAE’s evolving theatre scene.

MacGyvers Performing Arts, known for Wolves (2021), CIA, Safehouse, Somewhere (2022), partners with Cross Bronx Studios, the team behind Macbeth (2022) and Romeo and Juliet (2025), to present a version of Hamlet that questions legacy, loyalty, and the limits of reason.

Step into Elsinore and watch the unraveling of Shakespeare’s most haunting character — redefined for a new generation.
