Details

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. To launch the Rose's exciting 2013 Season, William Shakespeare's Hamlet comes to The Rose for the first time since 1594! The Rose version of Hamlet will be 1 hour and 40 minutes! It will be the most intense, dramatic Hamlet of 2013!
