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. Edited by Bijan Sheibani and Tarell Alvin McCraney specifically for young people and families, this Young People s Shakespeare production toured to schools around Newcastle last year before coming to the Theatre Royal for two sold out performances.
