Hamlet at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company

The King of Denmark’s mysterious death, and the Queen’s over-hasty marriage to her late husband’s brother lead Prince Hamlet to the inevitable conclusion that “something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” In his quest for retribution, the eponymous prince wrestles with morality, his own sanity and the very nature of existence itself. The greatest play ever written in the English language, Hamlet paints a startlingly poignant picture of what it means to be (or not to be) human.
