A family’s grief, a ghostly presence, and a Hamlet rehearsal collide in a hotel room at 2 a.m.
In a Danish hotel room at 2 a.m., three weary travelers confront an unexpected will and a looming deadline—a solo production of Hamlet that must be rehearsed by morning. Real-life family Susanna Hamnett, Joshua MacGregor, and Lily MacGregor play the relatives of the late actor Henry Elder, who was set to perform his defining role at the renowned Elsinore Shakespeare Festival. But even death won’t keep Henry from taking center stage.
Set within the intimate confines of a hotel room, Hotel Elsinore explores family, loss, and the transformative power of art. As Shakespeare’s Hamlet weaves through their story, grief, humor, and revelation collide in this absurd, moving, and deeply human drama.
