★★★★★ ‘Unmissable!’ Everything Theatre
Hotel Elsinore returns to Riverside Studios for one week only after its initial run in April, giving London audiences another chance to experience this ‘superbly executed and not to be missed’ play.
Called ‘A love letter to theatre itself’ by the Edinburgh Guide, Hotel Elsinore is a darkly funny and deeply human play about family, loss, and the healing power of art, set in the liminal and claustrophobic confines of a hotel room.
Real-life family - award-winning actor Susanna Hamnett (‘a virtuosic performer’ - The New York Times), Joshua MacGregor, and Lily MacGregor - play a mother, son, and daughter thrust into facing their unresolved issues through a middle-of-the-night rehearsal of Hamlet.

Dedication
Hotel Elsinore is dedicated to the memory of our dear friend, the great Canadian actor David Fox who, whenever we would tell him of an upcoming project or dream, would get a fierce glint in his eye and pump the air with his fist, exclaiming “Have at ’em!”
