The poster for Hamlet portrays characters from the play as children, sat at a brown table, against a dreary grey wall. To the right, and in the forefront of the image, in front of the table, a child with ginger hair, evidently supposed to be a young Benedict Cumberbatch in the guise of Hamlet, wears period dress, including a ruffled collar. He stares, unsmiling, into the camera. Sat at the table, to the left, Ophelia is portrayed by a girl with straight dark hair and a fringe. She wears a black sleeveless dress and grey fairy wings. She leans on the table, her hands limply holding flowers, as she stares off into the distance, looking bored. A third child, a boy, is dressed as a knight and holding a sword with both hands. He is stood behind the table. On the table are a skull, a candlestick and candle, an upturned globe, a clear bottle filled with blue liquid and a paper cup with a straw, and a dark coloured crown. The word Hamlet appears in bold white text, horizontally in the bottom left corner of the image, while the word barbican runs up the left hand side of the image, in bold grey text
