Hamlet

Hamlet is, arguably William Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy directed by Zakiullah Khan. Hamlet is a tale of indecision, revenge & retribution, deception, ambition, loyalty, and fate. Prince Hamlet mourns both his father’s death and his mother, Queen Gertrude’s remarriage to her late husband’s brother, Claudius. The ghost of Hamlet’s father appears to him and tells him that Claudius has poisoned him. Hamlet swears revenge but cannot find himself to be up to it. He kills the eavesdropping Polonius, the court chamberlain. Polonius‘s son Laertes returns to Denmark to avenge his father’s death. Polonius’s daughter Ophelia loves the Prince but his behavior drives her to madness. Ophelia dies by drowning. A duel takes place and ends with the death of Gertrude, Laertes, Claudius, and Hamlet.
