Hamlet is not one person. He never was.

In this production, Hamlet is divided across three performers — the youngest of whom is nine years old. Together they externalize what Shakespeare always knew was true: that love, rage, and survival cannot share a body without tearing it apart. Drawn from Freud's structural model of the psyche and contemporary research on dissociation as survival, they are three complete people who happen to share one body, held together not by integration but by its failure.

Developed in consultation with a clinical psychologist, Hamlet Split Apart preserves Shakespeare's language in full while staging the breakdown from the inside. Accompanied by an original score and set on a bare stage, this is a psychological thriller hiding inside a revenge play.

Originally cut by Gary Lagden at RADA (2018) and adapted by Emma Tadmor for RJ Theatre Company, the production premiered to a sold-out run at The Flea Theater, New York (2023), and returns to AMT Theater for the Circle Theater Festival, 2026.
