We're blown away but the love and support we've received on and off stage by the team, cast, crew and audiences. This show has been a passion project for over five years in development and without every single person involved it wouldn't have become the wonderful show that it came to be.

This isn't the end of Space Hamlet, as we look to London for 2026 we hope you'll continue to join us on our journey to infinity and beyond. 🚀

To our wonderful cast, thank you for putting your hearts and talent into this show. We've loved working with you, and watching you bring our vision to life.
