RSC Young People's Shakespeare - Hamlet

This is an abridged version of Hamlet specifically for young people and families and is the perfect introduction to Shakespeare for all ages. Hamlet is a young man on the edge. His father’s death was suspicious and his mother has hastily married his uncle, the man he suspects of murdering his father. Trapped in the claustrophobic court of Elsinore, he must discover the truth and decide if he has a right to avenge his father.
