- Story Text: British actor Benedict Cumberbatch began the title role of William Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' at the Barbican Centre on Wednesday (August 5).
As the show began its previews, photos showing the star during rehearsals have come to light.
Although the play appeared to originally sell out, the Barbican Centre has been making some tickets available on the day, causing Cumberbatch's avid fans who call themselves 'Cumberbitches' to camp out outside the venue. An online queuing system for returned tickets has also appeared on the Barbican Centre website.
'Hamlet', which is directed by Lyndsey Turner, has its official opening night on August 26 and runs through to October 31. - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
