Hamlet's Fool

T01529714690
A wistful and insightful glimpse into the soul of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Hamlet's Fool serves to give a voice to Yorick, whose skull is exhumed by the Gravedigger in Shakespeare's Hamlet. Known simply as 'The Fool', he is outwardly in complete control as the Lord of Misrule, but when a new fool is introduced to the court and adopted by The Queen, a sinister edge begins to emerge. Hamlet's Fool echoes the original play but has the freedom to be its own story as it suggests a prequel to this tragic drama.
