''[[The House of O: A Reconstruction of Hamlet]]'' is a South African work by [[Hannah Barnard]].

== The original text ==

The work offers a reconstruction of Shakespeare's ''[[Hamlet]]'', adjusted to resonate current issues in the geopolitical arena. The play is not set in a specific era, yet its outlook conveys a feeling of a dystopian future, but with a lack of the expected technological advancements. The play addresses important themes like greed and corruption and is a reflection on current issues.

Besides the usual character, there is also a new character, "The Editor", who serves as the voice of reason and to a certain extent aids the breaking of the "fourth wall" between audience and players.
