Hamlet
by William Shakespeare
 
Hamlet’s father has died under mysterious circumstances.
His mother has remarried within a few weeks. When Hamlet
meets his dead father’s ghost, he learns that his mother’s
new husband is his father’s murderer. But can he trust a
ghost?
Caught between his hatred of his new step-father and his
love for his mother, Hamlet starts to lose his grip on reality.
The only people he can truly trust are the Players - a troupe
of actors whose art consists of performing scenes that are
not real.
 
White Horse Theatre’s abridgement of this fascinating play
focuses on the character of Hamlet, and on the uncanny
modernity of ist story of a young man, disorientated and
sensitive, struggling to find meaning in a world where all is
sham and deception.
