Life versus death is only one of the many conflicts in this greatest of all Shakespearean tragedies. The Danish King Hamlet has died. In less than two month his brother, Claudius, marries the dead king's wife, Gertrude, and seizes the throne. The dead King's son, Hamlet, is upset by his mother's hasty remarriage and Denmark becomes a prison to him as his melancholy deepens. Add to this a visit from his dead father's ghost, a suspicion of murder, and a torrid love affair and you have a tragedy that immediately absorbs the problems of our time. This edited version of the most performed of all tragedies will be sure to entertain and enlighten.
