To see, or not to see? Well, you’d be hard-pushed to source tickets to the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company and RADA’s fund-raising production of Hamlet, which sees Tom Hiddleston star in the titular role – tickets have already been allocated by ballot, with no returns or tickets on the door available.
Not to worry, however, as brilliant photographer Johan Persson has been at the heart of the action, capturing the all-star cast in all its glory.
