Gertrude - The Cry
T01279448190
An extraordinary, powerful, poetic and provocative play which exposes the sexuality and secrecy that seethes below the surface of Shakespeare's
Hamlet. In this new world of Elsinore, Howard Barker defends Hamlet's reviled mother and her adulterous affair with Claudius, depicting them as lovers driven beyond reason, while Hamlet is a censorious moralist.
