The Prince Hamlet

Not yet two months after the death of King Hamlet, the Queen has remarried and Prince Hamlet struggles to understand how the world and his mother are able to move on. Visited by the ghost of his father who directs Hamlet to avenge his murder by killing the murderer – his uncle, now king and step-father. The Prince Hamlet is the story of a young man/boy burdened by what he must do, trying to understand how to live in his time and how “to be”.

The Prince Hamlet is a reconstruction of Hamlet that uses a filmic language for the stage, replacing exposition with action while staying faithful to the text and illuminating the contemporary relevance of Shakespeare’s 400-year-old tragedy.
