Hamlet (solo)

Toronto stage and screen veteran Raoul Bhaneja strips Shakespeare’s
most iconic tragedy down to its raw, beating heart — no sets, no
costumes, no safety net. Just an actor, the text, and you. Award-winning
and internationally acclaimed, Hamlet (solo) directed by Robert Ross Parker (Disgraced – Mirvish, Apples in Winter – Here For Now) has electrified audiences from the Arctic Circle to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. With seventeen characters coursing through a single body, Bhaneja doesn’t just perform Hamlet — he becomes it.

20 years after Hamlet (solo)’s world premiere at Theatre Passe Muraille, these select fundraising performances will support The Andy McKim Endowment Fund for New Works, ensuring the continued growth of artists and the development of new works at Theatre Passe Muraille now and into the future.

Winner of the 2022 Best Actor Award at New York’s United Solo Festival, the world’s largest festival of solo work; winner of the Montreal English Critic’s Circle Award for Best Visiting Production; and nominee for the Calgary Critic’s Award for Best Solo Show, Hamlet (solo) has been performed over 150 times in 25 different cities since its debut in 2006.
