15 year old Harriet is wrestling with an essay on Hamlet while her alcoholic father, Frank, is dying upstairs. In the aftermath of his death, Harriet's tale is drawn into a strangely familiar story: a suburban Hamlet. In different guises here come Claudius, Gertrude, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, Polonius and Ophelia. Even the travelling players take a part. The premiere reading of Alan Bennett's lost early unproduced play for television, Denmark Hill is a deliciously acerbic black comedy set in South East London.
