Written between 1599 and 1601. The play, set in Denmark, recounts how Prince Hamlet exacts revenge on his uncle Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father, the King, and then taken the throne and married Gertrude, Hamlet's mother. The play vividly charts the course of real and feigned madness - from overwhelming grief to seething rage - and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and moral corruption. At the end of a long winter's day seven performers will present a rehearsed reading of scenes from Hamlet.| 16 Feb 08 | Gilmorehill G12 Glasgow Performance Details => Venue archive |
