Synopsis

  • Summary

    Shortly after the tragic death of his father, the King of Denmark, the young prince Hamlet falls into despair compounded by the hasty marriage of his mother, Queen Gertrude, to his uncle Claudius, who thereby takes the throne. The late king’s ghost appears to Hamlet, claiming to have been murdered, and demands vengeance. Thus begins the prince’s downward spiral as he endeavours to juggle duty, loyalty, and personal ambition.
