Set amidst the tumultuous backdrop of political intrigue and familial betrayal, this iconic tale follows the tormented Prince of Denmark as he grapples with existential questions of life, death, and revenge.

Qasim Khan is a four-time Dora nominee who has played major roles across Canada. This season he stars as the title role in the Canadian Stage – Dream in High Park production of Hamlet.

Jessica Carmichael directs a stunning cast led by Qasim Khan as the Dane prince, joined by Prince Amponsah, Raquel Duffy, Christo Graham, Stephen Jackman-Torkoff, Sam Khalilieh, Breton Lalama, Beck Lloyd, Dan Mousseau, Amelia Sargisson, James Dallas Smith, and featuring Diego Matamoros as Claudius.

An interesting note about Hamlet in the Dream in High Park is that, in forty-one years, this is only the second production of the play for the Dream… the first production was in 2016. To learn more about this latest production and the lead’s own preparation for the role, I had an insightful conversation with Khan this week.

The Dream in High Park production of Hamlet continues until September 1, 2024. For show details and ticket information, please visit canadianstage.com.
