Hamlet

The tragedy begins one night in the courtyard of the royal palace of Elsinore. The shadow of the dead king, Hamlet of Denmark, makes its appearance constantly. The ghost of the king does meet his son, Prince Hamlet and informs him that his wife Gertrude in complicity with his brother Claudio (dead king's brother) had poisoned to seize the throne. Prince Hamlet does not know whether to believe in what he has seen. Hamlet then his revenge plot to uncover the truth and pretends to be crazy at all, even before he loved Ophelia. She was the daughter of none other than Polonius, King Claudius accomplice. In this quintessential Shakespeare tragedy, a young prince's halting pursuit of revenge for the murder of his father unfolds in a series of highly charged confrontations that have held audiences spellbound for nearly four centuries. Those fateful exchanges, and the anguished soliloquies that precede and follow them, probe depths of human feeling rarely sounded in any art. The title role of Hamlet, perhaps the most demanding in all of Western drama, has provided generations of leading actors their greatest challenge. Yet all the roles in this towering drama are superbly delineated, and each of the key scenes offers actors a rare opportunity to create theatrical magic. As if further evidence of Shakespeare's genius were needed, Hamlet is a unique pleasure to read as well as to see and hear performed. The full text of this extraordinary drama is reprinted here from an authoritative British edition complete with illuminating footnotes.
