The First Quarto version of Hamlet from 1604

Tristan will join a cast of 8 for a rehearsed reading of "The First Quarto" version of Hamlet with Creation Theatre Company in Oxford.

With Gertrude cast as Hamlet’s accomplice and many other unexplained oddities, audiences can expect a play that is quite different from the text of today.

There will be two performances, one on the 10th of June at Blackwells Bookshop and one on 11th June at Lady Margaret Hall.

The cast is as follows:

Claire Andreadis: Queen Gertred

Clare Humphrey: Horatio

Gavin Molloy: Marcellus / Voltemar/ Montano/ Laertes/ Guilderstone

Michael Palmer: Corambis (Polonius)/ Clowne Gravedigger

Tristan Pate: Centinel 2/ Rossencraft / Priest/ Foppish Gentleman

Natasha Rickman: Ofelia/ Second Clowne Gravedigger

Michael Sheldon: Ghost of Old Hamlet/ King (Claudius)/ The Player King

Chris York: Hamlet

Tristan Jackson-Pate

My name is Tristan Jackson-Pate and I am a theatre maker.

I’m originally from Stroud and first found a place of belonging in a youth theatre, which changed my life. I went on to train as an actor at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, and now I find the most joy in creating professional theatre with and for young people.

Since 2015, I’ve been Artistic Director of the award-winning People’s Theatre Collective in Oxfordshire. I’ve also worked in a freelance capacity with wonderful organisations like Creation Theatre, Oxford Playhouse and The Belgrade Theatre, Coventry.

During ten years as a writer, director and facilitator, I’ve written nine plays, a short film, and facilitated inclusive community arts projects in creative writing, devised theatre, and music composition with diverse participants. My freelance writing includes children’s stories, song commissions, educational videos, and sightseeing tours.

I’m an Associate Artist at Royal & Derngate, Northampton, a past Associate at the Old Rep Theatre, Birmingham and a Mentor Director for the National Theatre Connections programme.

As a trustee for Sophie's Silver Lining Fund, I’m committed to creating inclusive, youth led spaces that empower young people to discover their potential no matter their background. A drive to reduce inequality and champion fairer opportunities underpins all my work.
