Description

Often cited by literary scholars and critics as the greatest play ever written, William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" is a case study in deliberation, betrayal, revenge and of life itself, diving into the psyche of the title character as he navigates the treacherous Denmark Court. Prince Hamlet is in mourning for his late father the King, who died mysteriously and whose wife, Queen Gertrude, quickly remarried and to no less a personage than the King's brother and successor, Claudius. When the Ghost of Hamlet's father appears to the young prince and reveals that Claudius was his murderer, Hamlet - compelled to avenge his father's death - struggles with the ethical minefield of righteous vengeance as well as examining his own mortality. Featuring some of the most famous and compelling speeches and characters in the Shakespearean canon - including the lovely and tortured Ophelia, her father (the comical and doomed Polonius), the noble Horatio and Hamlet's duplicitous schoolmates Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. A towering and brilliant story of life, death and existence itself, "The Tragedy of Hamlet" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
