Dungog Shakespearience at Wangat Lodge – Hamlet

In it’s 4th year at Wangat Lodge, Dungog Shakespearience presents Hamlet – outdoor theatre at its finest!

Staged across three unique outdoor stages, the audience will be guided by the actors through the woods and back again. The venue is eco-accommodation centre, Wangat Lodge. A stunning 50 acre wildlife sanctuary on the Chichester River. The performance will not just be seen, but lived. This is the best and original way to experience Shakespeare!

Hamlet remains timeless because it explores universal struggles—grief, betrayal, indecision, and the search for truth—that still resonate deeply in modern life. He’s the prototype of the overthinking anti-hero, torn between action and hesitation, reflecting the paralysis many feel in the face of overwhelming choices. In an age of endless information and moral gray areas, Hamlet’s doubts and dilemmas feel more relevant than ever.

With over ten years experience of outdoor Shakespeare including Cambridge Shakespeare Festival, and Sydney’s Shakespeare By The Sea. He has appeared in over thirty Shakespearean productions. In Dungog Shakespearience he brings a professional level Shakespeare to nature based stages, enlivening the productions and making them more accessible to a wider audience.
