Hamlet
Widely considered to be one of the greatest plays of all time, Shakespeare's most renowned tragedy enacts the tale of the young prince Hamlet, and his attempts to exact revenge against Claudius, his uncle, who has murdered Hamlet's father in order to seize the throne, and his Queen
Sent by the very ghost of his father to avenge his brutal death, Hamlet’s mission to expose the truth is a perilous journey of madness, murder and lost love. Who can he trust? Who can be believed? And what will ultimately become of this young man sent to kill?
