Shakespeare's finest moment? Possibly - one of the greatest tales of indecision and of the corruption of the family unit.

Magnífica, una obra que pone serias reflexiones pesimistas acerca de la existencia de un protagonista depresivo con geniales partes como cuando revisan el cementerio y comparan a las personas de ahí con las que fueron. Una obra que reflexiona acerca de la muerte y que nos presenta un gran protagonista, decir que la historia de su protagonista es conmovedora es quedarse corto. Una muestra más de... read more

Description: The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, often shortened to Hamlet, is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare sometime between 1599 and 1601. It is Shakespeare's longest play, with 29,551 words. Set in Denmark, the play depicts Prince Hamlet and his attempts to exact revenge against his uncle, Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father in order to seize his throne and marry Hamlet's mother.

“Escenario: un cementerio danés a la luz del día. Personajes: un sepulturero, un joven de negro y su acompañante. Acción: el joven, perseguido durante cuatro actos por la tragedia, recoge una calavera e inicia un soliloquio sobre la brevedad y futilidad de la vida humana. Estos ingredientes dan forma a quizá una de las imagenes más emblematicas de la ficción y el imaginario colectivo.

Hamlet, la obra mas representativa y célebre de William Shakespeare, ha sido objeto de incontables análisis y reinterpretaciones durante los más de cuatro siglos desde su estreno inicial. Y es que el contenido filosófico, psicológico, religioso y poético presente en su texto comprende tal profundidad , que difícilmente llegará el día en que pueda existir un consenso sobre su totalid” read more

"Hamlet stands here as a representative of all of the better works of good ol' Shakey (Macbeth, King Lear etc.). There surely is a valid reason for the immense popularity of Billyboy, and that is his astonishing skill of discovering and putting to words some of the most deepest motives that so often animate human beings and effect the course of actions they take, and then weaving truly impressive – yet at their core usually surprisingly simple – stories out of these. Also, naturally and less "
