Press Release

Ophelia (Daisy Ridley) takes centre stage as Queen Gertrude’s (Naomi Watts) most trusted lady-in-waiting. Beautiful and intelligent, she soon captures the attention of the handsome Prince Hamlet (George MacKay) and a forbidden love blossoms. As war brews, lust and betrayal are tearing Elsinore Castle apart from within and Ophelia must decide between her true love or her own life in order to protect a very dangerous secret.

This stunning new interpretation puts a feminist slant on the timeless Shakespeare classic by taking the marginalised character of Ophelia and presenting the epic story through her eyes.

Ophelia premiered at Sundance in 2018 and stars Daisy Ridley, Naomi Watts, Clive Owen, George MacKay and Tom Felton. Ophelia is directed by Claire McCarthy.
