Hamlet

At midnight on Elsinore’s bitter-cold ramparts, a dead king in armor walks past the guards—and vanishes before he can speak. The watch sends for Prince Hamlet: what can a ghost tell him that it will not tell anyone else?

Denmark is still mourning its king when the court has already turned toward celebration, and Hamlet’s grief has nowhere to go. His mother has married his uncle; the new king calls him son, while Hamlet sees a court full of appearances and words he must swallow. Then Horatio brings news of the apparition that resembles Hamlet’s father, seen twice in the night. Is it a warning, a summons, or something more dangerous? As the prince approaches the darkness beyond the palace walls, what truth waits for him there?
