Hamlet

About

“Who's there?” is the first question in one of the greatest theatre plays of all times. Deep in the North, where the living meet ghosts of the dead, where any move forward is frozen at place and time until Hamlet obeys the orders of his father’s ghost and sets out on a quest to avenge his horrid and vile murder. But should he obey? Indeed, the path to justice will be lined with the death of innocent souls!

Although we think we know Hamlet, we rediscover the meaning of his fate over and over again. The family tragedy unfolds against the backdrop of a crumbling state. It is a pitch-black night, the graves are wide open, and hell itself is poisoning the world with the breath of plague.

One question stands at the beginning of the play. Many more questions remain at the end. What is the truth? What is reality? How does the lust for power defile a man? And how is a man defiled in pursuit of a revenge? Is it sensible to love? Is it sensible to act? Is it sensible to be? Wouldn't it be better to die, to sleep?
