This adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet uses four actors to creatively tell the story in a way you've never seen before. Prince Hamlet returns home to Denmark for the funeral of his father and finds that his mother, Gertrude, has married his father’s brother, Claudius, who is now made himself king. A ghostly figure of the deceased King appears to Hamlet and confirms that Claudius poisoned him. Hamlet seeks certainty and devises a clever ruse to catch his uncle: he hires a band of actors to entertain Claudius and Gertrude with a play in which a king is murdered to test his uncle’s reaction. It works. Now what?
