Trapped within a future asylum and his own mind, patient #222: Ham, lives his life through the words of Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Hamlet. His doctors decide to lead him through the play and hopefully awaken him from his hallucination. Can these creative psychiatrists remember their lines and play their roles to liberate Ham, or will he lead them further into madness?

If you want to watch a hilarious play, you won’t be disappointed. If you want to look for something deeper, you will be satisfied. Madness abounds in Ham's Brave New Ward. You will experience a cagey, emotionally resonant black comedy packed with plot twists.

Written by a Taiwanese playwright (assisted by William Shakespeare), Ham's Brave New Ward features British and Taiwanese actors, work from contemporary artists and much more from different countries and cultural backgrounds.
