The Oscar-winning duo talk about their modern South Asian adaptation.
Join renowned actor Riz Ahmed and director Aneil Karia as they take us behind the scenes of their new contemporary film-adaptation of Hamlet. Set within a wealthy British-South Asian family, this is the first film to portray a non-white Hamlet in Shakespeare’s original verse.
Applauded with much acclaim at film festivals around the globe, this captivating, fresh take is due to land on UK screens on 6 February 2026.In a thought-provoking and candid evening, Riz and Aneil will answer questions from our host and from the audience, delving into how their cinematic visions came to life, what’s different about their adaptation, what setting Hamlet within a British South-Asian community means culturally for the story, and more.
Our chef-wallas will be serving up nicely spiced biryani, from 7:30–9pm (not included in the ticket price). Quench thirsts at the bar throughout the evening.
