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. All female production. The production is set in Weimar Germany in the late 1930s and will have an eclectic feel in tone and design rather than in political thought.| 2 Jul 03 to 12 Jul 03 | Upstairs at the Gatehouse Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
