Elsinore

Opens November 25

Filmmaker Simon Stone presents the deeply emotional and inspirational true story of Ian Charleson, portrayed unforgettably by Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers) in the role of his career. Charleson is a gifted actor whose greatest challenge, performing as Hamlet at the National Theatre in London while seriously ill from AIDS, becomes his greatest triumph. Facing his own mortality with unflinching honesty, wit, and grace, Charleson delivers a courageous performance that becomes a source of healing and inspiration for those around him. Also starring Academy Award Winner Olivia Colman.

"This is a performance of a lifetime; and one the Academy voters would need a collective bout of insanity to ignore."
Nick Howells, London Evening Standard
"A vivid picture of London at the height of the AIDS crisis and a stirring gesture of gratitude to art, specifically theater, as a lifeline even when death looms large.
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
