"Though this be madness, yet there's method in't "

Progress is excited to announce we'll be back performing in Reading Abbey Ruins in 2026. Even better, we are bringing you Hamlet, William Shakespeare's most celebrated – and most quoted – play.

 

 

See Planning Your Visit for directions, times, facilities and what to bring.
Wet weather will not stop the show, unless conditions become dangerous.
There are no refunds but if there are tickets available later in the run we can transfer your tickets to another night.
