As part of the British National Theatre’s NT Live Program, Symphony Space presents a screening of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s “Hamlet.” The world at his feet, Hamlet is young, wealthy, and living a hedonistic life studying abroad. Then word reaches him that his father is dead. Returning home he finds his world is utterly changed, his certainties smashed, and his home a foreign land. Struggling to understand his place in a new world order he faces a stark choice. Submit, or rage against the injustice of his new reality. Simon Godwin (“The Two Gentlemen of Verona,” 2014) directs Paapa Essiedu in the title role, and Sola Akingbola provides the percussive accompaniment. Leonard Nimoy Thalia, 2537 Broadway at W. 95th St. Jul. 13, 2 p.m.; Jul 30, 7 p.m. Tickets are $24, $16 for those 30 and younger at symphonyspace.org.
