Description of Play
Prince Hamlet has come home from college to Elsinore to bury his father and then attend his mother Gertrude's wedding to his Uncle Claudius. Hamlet is visited by his dead father’s ghost and learns his father was murdered by his uncle and demands Hamlet seek revenge for his death. Hamlet goes about this by pretending to have gone crazy, breaks off his relationship with his girlfriend, Ophelia, and plots to kill Claudius.
Feeling threatened by Hamlet's behavior, Claudius plots to have him killed by employing two of Hamlet’s schoolmates, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, as escorts to his execution in England. Outwitted, Hamlet returns to Elsinore to seek his revenge.
Sensitivity Warning: This play deals with the difficult subjects of suicide and feelings of self-harm.
