The Ur-Hamlet is a play by an unknown author, thought to be either Thomas Kyd or William Shakespeare, dated by scholars to the late 1580s. No copy of the play survives today. The play was staged in London, more specifically at The Theatre in Shoreditch as recalled by Elizabethan author Thomas Lodge.
