About the Play
Hamlet is not only one of Shakespeare's greatest plays but also the most fascinatingly problematical tragedy in world literature.
- First performed around 1600, this is a gripping and exuberant drama of revenge, rich in contrasts and conflicts.
- Its violence alternates with introspection, its melancholy with humour, and its subtlety with spectacle.
- The Prince, Hamlet, is portrayed as a complex, divided, introspective character, whose reflections on death, morality, and the status of human beings make him ‘the first modern man’.
Timeless Relevance
Countless stage productions and numerous adaptations for cinema and television have demonstrated the continuing cultural relevance of this vivid, enigmatic, profound, and engrossing drama.
