Cast of RSC Hamlet

The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) today announce further casting for Hamlet, directed by the multi award-winning Rupert Goold and running in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre from Saturday 8 February – Saturday 29 March 2025, with press night on Tuesday 18 February 2025.

Principal cast comprises Nancy Carroll (Gertrude), Jared Harris (Claudius), Anton Lesser (Ghost/First Player), Elliot Levey (Polonius), Kel Matsena (Horatio), Lewis Shepherd (Laertes) and Nia Towle (Ophelia).

They join the previously announced Luke Thallon, who will make his RSC debut in the titular role.

       

Rupert Goold, Director, said: “I am thrilled to announce the principal cast for Hamlet. I have admired Jared Harris for years as a fantastic actor on both stage and screen and to bring him back to the RSC after over 40 years is incredibly exciting. I am equally delighted to work with Elliot Levey again after Cold War and with Nancy Carroll and Anton Lesser both of whose work I have adored over many years.

“Nia was exceptional in A View From The Bridge, and I know her Ophelia will be just as arresting. I worked with Kel and Lewis on Dear England and am thrilled to be coaching them as part of this team too. They join Luke whom I directed on Cold War and Patriots, and on his debut in Albion. His grace and sensitivity have always marked him as a future Hamlet and it’s a privilege to be working with him again.
