What is Solo quería hacer Hamlet
Solo quería hacer Hamlet is a metatheatrical comedy following Estefano, an actor frustrated by never landing the role of Hamlet, who decides to stage the play himself. From casting to set design, he takes on every role in a project teetering on emotional and financial collapse. With live music and intense monologues, the show blends Shakespearean drama with the absurd humor of a looming disaster.
Who’s behind the show
The production doesn’t credit a specific company or cast in available sources. The protagonist, Estefano, handles multiple roles—actor, director, producer—in a self-managed theatrical effort reflecting the precarity and passion of the performing arts. The tone draws from stand-up and independent theatre, with a one-man-show vibe.
Schedule and duration
Performances run from 20 to 22 November 2026, with the premiere on Friday 20 at 20:00. While the exact duration isn’t confirmed, the format—live music, monologues, and Hamlet scenes—suggests a runtime similar to other metatheatrical comedies, between 75 and 90 minutes.
Prices and tickets
General admission is a fixed price of €12, with no seating distinctions. Tickets are available on platforms like Tomaticket and Entradium, though it’s unclear if discounts (for students, seniors) or nominal tickets apply.
