National Theater Live’s 2010 broadcast of “Hamlet” will be shown on a widescreen at the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center at 6:30 p.m. on Friday.

The showing will be the last of 2013 for National Theater Live in Albert Lea. There are two scheduled broadcast performances January.

Tickets for “Hamlet” are $20 for adults and $12 for students.

Award-winning actor Rory Kinnear plays Hamlet in the production of William Shakespeare’s famous play that was directed by Nicholas Hytner. Kinnear is joined by Clare Higgins (Gertrude), Patrick Malahide (Claudius), David Calder (Polonius), James Laurenson (Ghost/Player King) and Ruth Negga (Ophelia).

The National Theater opened its doors for the first time in 1963 with a production of “Hamlet,” — which is why the encore presentation is being presented now, 50 years later.
